How has the automated passenger counting system market evolved, and what factors have shaped its growth?

The rising public transportation usage is expected to propel the growth of the automated passenger counting system market going forward. Urban public transportation usage refers to the effective and efficient utilization of public transport vehicles and services by the general public. Public transportation usage is on the rise due to increasing traffic congestion, increasing investments in public transportation infrastructure, and rising fuel costs. Automated Passenger Counting Systems (APC) are utilized in urban public transportation to accurately track and monitor passenger numbers, facilitating efficient resource allocation, schedule planning, and service optimization. For instance, in August 2023, according to a report by Seoul Metropolitan Government, a Korea-based local government in Seoul, public transportation was used 9.42 million times on average per day last year, with a 14% (+70,000) increase in daily utilization throughout the day. In 2022, there were 330 million more people using public transportation overall than in 2021, with an average daily increase of 11% (+900,000). Therefore, rising public transportation usage is driving the growth of the automated passenger counting system market.
