The North America Automated Fare Collection System Market would witness market growth of 14.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026).
AFC systems include automated ticketing machines, card replacement terminals, gate machines and ticket control machines. Rising demand for trouble-free and reliable transport systems is expected to be one of the main factors driving the market. Increased use of plastic currency, real-time payments and digital payment gateways such as debit card, credit card and Near Field Communication ( NFC) payment applications are also anticipated to push market growth during the forecast period. These applications are increasingly replacing traditional ticketing systems because of their advantages, such as improved process management, revenue generation, prevention of financial fraud and superior system planning.
They enable operators to increase the transaction rate and the processing efficiency of the overall price collection process, while reducing waiting time and removing the need for physical currency management. Automated fare collection systems can be used in a variety of high-traffic areas, including commercial offices, government buildings, parking spaces, amusement and entertainment parks, highway toll collection centers and public transit stations.
The rapid growth of public infrastructure in developed countries around the world has provided many opportunities for the market. In addition, increased regional convergence between system providers and transit authorities, such as airports, rail and parking lots, is also driving market growth. Increased use of cellular networks, smartphones and contactless technology for digital transactions, along with flexible tariff plans provided by these systems, is expected to fuel market growth.
