The global market for Automated Passenger Counting (APC) System was estimated to be worth US$ 481 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1349 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 16.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
An Automated Passenger Counter (APC) is an electronic device available for installation on transit vehicles including buses and rail vehicles which accurately records boarding and alighting data. This technology can improve the accuracy and reliability of tracking transit ridership over traditional methods of manual accounting by drivers or estimation through random surveying.
Urbanization and population growth are putting enormous pressure on existing public transportation networks. To meet passenger needs effectively, cities are increasingly adopting smart mobility solutions. APC systems provide accurate ridership data, enabling transit agencies to optimize routes, reduce overcrowding, and enhance passenger satisfaction. This trend is a major driver of market adoption.
Governments across the globe are investing in smart city development and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). APC systems are often integrated into these initiatives to ensure more efficient and sustainable mobility. Subsidies, funding programs, and policy mandates supporting real-time data collection, urban mobility management, and eco-friendly transit are boosting APC system adoption.
Public transport operators face increasing pressure to improve service quality while keeping costs under control. APC systems provide precise data on passenger demand, which helps optimize fleet allocation, scheduling, and capacity planning. By preventing underutilization or overcrowding of vehicles, transit agencies can reduce operating costs while enhancing service reliability.
In the era of big data and analytics, transportation providers are leveraging APC systems to gather actionable insights. Accurate passenger data enables better demand forecasting, resource allocation, and policy-making. Transit authorities can also use APC data to justify funding requests, comply with reporting standards, and support future infrastructure investments.
In many regions, public transit agencies must provide accurate ridership data to comply with government regulations or to qualify for funding subsidies. For example, in the U.S., agencies seeking Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants are required to provide verified passenger counts. APC systems help ensure compliance and secure financial support, driving their adoption.
