Smart Traffic Camera Market By Component, By Camera Type, By Deployment Type, By Application, By Regional Outlook, Industry Analysis Report and Forecast, 2021 - 2027

The Global Smart Traffic Camera Market size is expected to reach $18.1 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 13.1% CAGR during the forecast period. A smart traffic camera is an electronic device that helps in monitoring and managing the traffic flow to enhance the safety of people. These cameras are placed on expressways, highways, freeways, and arterial roads for surveillance and are interlinked with optical fibers. These smart cameras contain a sensing device that collects real-time information by recording a video and transmitting it to a network node that is then passed to a monitoring center in a compressed format. There are several kinds of smart cameras available in the market like traffic violation cameras, average speed cameras, speed detection cameras, and red-light cameras.

Factors such as rising concerns among the government about public safety, the growing number of vehicles & accidents, and the lack of infrastructure are acting as catalysts for the growth of the smart traffic camera market. Additionally, the market growth is directly proportional to the increase in the number of smart cities development projects. Moreover, the growing penetration of analytics software across the world is helping the market to grow further. However, an increasing number of hackers & security threats, and high investment for the installment of equipment is expected to act as the barriers to the growth for the smart traffic cameras market growth over the forecasting years.
