The electronic toll collection system market was valued at US$ 5,266.4 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 10,604.7 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2021 to 2028.

The toll collection systems projects constitute a public-private partnership model where government agencies or state bodies usually decide the toll pricing. Also, the objective of toll collection has a profound influence over the vehicle classification and dynamic pricing for different categories of frequent travelers. However, state and central government agencies’ joint efforts for initiating a streamlined transit transaction process across toll gateways, plazas, parking systems, and traffic management have gained traction in the past few years. Moreover, technological advancements have facilitated in eliminating the mundane, repetitive operation involved in tolling processes such as identification of vehicles (AVI), vehicle classification (AVC), transit traction, and enforcement of fines for violators, thereby simplifying the process and improving the system efficiency significantly compared to the conventional manned toll plazas. Also, the effective deployment of ETC systems has versatile benefits such as reducing congestion and vehicular pollution, seamless transit transactions, and intelligent transportation services at expressways. Thus, the long-term benefits of adopting ETC systems are expected to drive the demand for these systems across various emerging economies and provide profitable business opportunities for the market players during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected the overall growth rate of the global electronic toll collection system market in 2020. This can be attributed to the decline in revenue of companies operating in the market, owing to supply and demand disruptions across the value chain. However, in 2021, with the relaxation of lockdown restrictions and the beginning of the vaccination process, the shipment of raw materials has started again. Many countries and toll collecting companies have adopted digital transformation to effectively run their business in these challenging times. Electronic toll collection system providers are also focusing on bringing new solutions, partnerships, and collaborations to overcome the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, this factor is helping in creating a positive scenario in the growth of the global electronic toll collection system market.
