The crowd analytics market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.57 billion in 2024 to $1.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased urbanization, the growth of smart cities, advancements in sensor technology, rising security concerns, demand for personalized experiences, and the expansion of event management.
The crowd analytics market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of AI and machine learning, increasing use of IoT devices, emphasis on public safety and security, demand for data-driven decision-making, rising investments in smart infrastructure, and enhanced analytics capabilities. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of advanced analytics with AI, expansion into new sectors like retail and transportation, a focus on real-time data processing, growth in mobile and cloud-based solutions, increased emphasis on privacy and data protection, and the rise of multi-sensor data fusion.
The increasing number of airline and train passengers is expected to drive the growth of the crowd analytics market. Airline passengers are those who travel by air, counted when they board or disembark from an aircraft at an airport, while train passengers are those who travel by train, counted when they board or disembark from a train at a station. This rise in passenger numbers is attributed to the recovery from pandemic-related travel restrictions, which has led to increased travel demand and improved service availability. Additionally, enhanced transportation options and fewer disruptions, such as strikes, have contributed to higher passenger volumes for both modes of transport. Crowd analytics is being utilized in the airline and train industries to optimize passenger flow management, enhance safety, and improve operational efficiency by analyzing real-time data on crowd density and movement. For example, in April 2024, the Office of Road and Rail (ORR), a UK-based government department, reported a 20% increase in rail passenger journeys in Great Britain, reaching 417 million between October and December 2023, compared to 348 million in the same quarter of 2022. The total number of journeys for the year from January 2022 to December 2023 was 1.57 billion. Consequently, the rising number of airline and train passengers is fueling the growth of the crowd analytics market.
Major companies in the crowd analytics market are focusing on integrating computer vision and machine learning solutions, such as crowd sense collector sensors, to enhance real-time insights into crowd behavior and improve decision-making. The crowd sense collector sensor is a device that uses mobile Wi-Fi signals to detect and count people in real-time, analyzing patterns, densities, and movement within its range. For example, in June 2023, Visual Solutions UK Limited, a UK-based technology company, launched the crowd sense collector sensor, an advanced tool designed for real-time crowd measurement and analysis. This innovative device integrates seamlessly into any environment, using mobile Wi-Fi signals to detect and count crowds, and provides organizations with valuable insights into crowd patterns, densities, and movement. The technology improves the ability to monitor and manage crowd dynamics efficiently, offering actionable data to optimize safety and operational strategies.
