Intelligent Transportation Systems Global Market Report 2025

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent ground transportation systems leveraging sensors, analytics, controllers, and communication technology to heighten safety, mobility, and efficiency. These systems encompass a range of applications aimed at gathering and transmitting data, aiming to diminish traffic congestion, enhance traffic management, reduce environmental impact, and enhance transportation benefits for both business clientele and the general public.

The core components within Intelligent Transportation Systems comprise advanced traffic management systems, cooperative vehicle systems, advanced public transportation systems, advanced traveler information systems, and advanced transportation pricing systems. Cooperative vehicle systems entail the acquisition of vehicle and road information through wireless communication and sensor detection technologies. This facilitates data interaction and sharing between vehicles and infrastructures. Their offerings span hardware, software, and services applicable across roadways, aviation, railways, and maritime sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The intelligent transportation systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $34.72 billion in 2024 to $37.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to traffic congestion mitigation, safety improvement measures, environmental sustainability goals, emergency response and incident management, public transportation integration, efficiency in freight and logistics, traffic signal control optimization.

The intelligent transportation systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid growth of connected vehicles, smart infrastructure investments, data analytics for traffic prediction, dynamic road pricing systems, focus on last-mile connectivity, smart mobility as a service (maas), urban air mobility integration. Major trends in the forecast period include IoT integration, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), smart parking solutions, cybersecurity measures, augmented reality (AR) in navigation, 5g connectivity, blockchain for transportation security, public-private partnerships.

The forecast of 10.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. As tariffs escalate, procurement of V2X communication devices and smart traffic management modules from Germany and Japan may become more expensive, delaying intelligent transportation projects. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The projected increase in road fatalities serves as a driving force behind the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) market. Road fatalities encompass individuals instantly killed or succumbing within 30 days due to road injuries. ITS functions to assist drivers in accident prevention by detecting surrounding vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians, adjusting driving speed and distance accordingly. Escalating road traffic congestion has further spurred the demand for ITS. For example, as per a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in August 2022, the first quarter of 2022 witnessed 9,560 fatalities, indicating a 7% surge from the 8,935 fatalities recorded during the same period in 2021. Hence, the mounting road fatalities fuel the market growth for Intelligent Transportation Systems.

The growing adoption of smart transport systems is expected to drive the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) market. Smart transport systems encompass advanced and integrated technologies designed to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation networks. Their adoption is crucial in shaping the future of intelligent transportation systems by addressing challenges such as traffic congestion, enhancing overall mobility, and promoting sustainable transportation practices. For instance, in December 2022, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a US-based government agency, projected that there would be 3.5 million self-driving vehicles on U.S. roads by 2025 and 4.5 million by 2030. Therefore, the increasing number of road fatalities will drive the demand for intelligent transportation systems.

Product innovations have become significant trends gaining traction in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) market. Leading companies in this sector are developing innovative products, including sustainable and automated transportation systems, to maintain their competitive edge. For instance, in August 2024, Equans, a US-based provider of technical services, partnered with Optibus Ltd., a US-based provider of transportation management software, to launch an intelligent transportation system aimed at enhancing public transportation services in the Greater Portland area. This collaboration focuses on implementing a modern Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) system, along with Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) and scheduling solutions. The partnership seeks to modernize the public transportation infrastructure of GPTD, improving efficiency, responsiveness, and user-friendliness.

Prominent companies strategically engage in partnerships and collaborations with startups and mid-sized entities in the Intelligent Transportation Systems market to broaden their product and service portfolios. These strategic collaborations and partnerships aid in expanding existing product ranges and geographical outreach. For instance, in August 2023, Vix Technology, an Australia-based provider of intelligent transportation systems, partnered with myBus, a Barcelona-based transit SaaS provider. This partnership aimed to develop a new ITS product augmenting myBus's cloud-native passenger information and fleet management system alongside Vix's expertise in data management and operations technology. Such collaborations enable Vix to offer a comprehensive ITS product to agencies, empowering passengers with real-time information while assisting operators in effective fleet management. This partnership widens Vix Technology's reach into new markets, offering an end-to-end solution for passengers and operators alike.

In May 2023, Via, a US-based transport technology company, acquired Citymapper for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Via's TransitTech solution and create a seamless transit experience for cities, transit agencies, and riders. The deal will improve public transport management and navigation while broadening Via's global presence. Ultimately, this acquisition aligns with Via's strategy to establish a comprehensive digital infrastructure for public mobility systems worldwide. Citymapper is a UK-based provider of intelligent transportation systems, including journey-planning apps and transit technology.
