A cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside unit is a stationary communication device installed along roads, highways, or intersections that facilitates information exchange between vehicles and surrounding infrastructure using C-V2X technology, enabling vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. It plays a vital role in improving traffic flow, delivering real-time safety alerts, signal timings, and other essential data, ultimately contributing to safer and more connected transportation networks.
The primary components of a cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside unit include hardware, software, and services. Hardware refers to the physical elements that enable C-V2X communication within roadside units. These systems are utilized across various vehicle types, including passenger, commercial, and heavy-duty vehicles, and operate through technologies such as cellular-based C-V2X and direct communication C-V2X. They are applied in areas such as traffic management, safety services, autonomous driving, and fleet management, serving end users in sectors such as transportation, automotive, and smart cities.
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.
Tariffs are impacting the C-V2X roadside unit market by increasing the cost of imported communication modules, antennas, processors, power units, and rugged enclosures. Transportation authorities and smart city projects in North America and Europe are particularly affected due to reliance on imported telecom hardware, while Asia-Pacific suppliers face export pricing challenges. These tariffs are raising infrastructure deployment costs and slowing large-scale rollouts. However, they are also encouraging local manufacturing, regional system integration, and innovation in cost-efficient and scalable roadside communication units.

The increasing automotive traffic volumes are fueling the growth of the cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside unit market due to rising vehicle travel demand and higher road usage. Automotive traffic refers to the movement of motor vehicles on roads and highways, encompassing their volume, speed, and flow patterns. Traffic volumes are steadily increasing as more individuals rely on personal vehicles for daily commutes and errands because of the limited availability, inefficiency, and inconvenience of public transportation systems. Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside units help manage automotive traffic by enabling real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure, enhancing traffic flow, safety, and congestion management. For instance, in June 2025, according to the Department for Transport, a United Kingdom-based government department, compared with 2024, car traffic increased by 1.9 percent from 2023 to 256.1 billion vehicle miles, bus and coach traffic rose by 1.7 percent to 2.0 billion vehicle miles, and motorcycle traffic grew by 3.5 percent to 3.0 billion vehicle miles. Therefore, the rise in automotive traffic volumes is driving the growth of the cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside unit market.
Key companies operating in the cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside unit market are focusing on obtaining certifications to improve roadside communication efficiency. Certifications are official documents that confirm compliance with specific standards, qualifications, or requirements. For instance, in July 2024, Applied Information, a United States-based technology company, received FCC certification for its Glance C-V2X Roadside Unit. The Glance system comes preloaded with safety and convenience applications, eliminating the need for costly setup and customization. When connected to traffic signals, it supports functions such as emergency vehicle preemption, transit signal priority, red-light violation alerts, and Get Ready for Green notifications. The system features a unique near-ground installation design and provides over-the-air software updates and cloud-based infrastructure monitoring through the Glance platform.
