Middle East & Africa Traffic Management Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Componentand Application

The Middle East & Africa traffic management market is expected to grow from US$ 2,590.15 million in 2022 to US$ 4,493.83 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2022 to 2028.

With the fast-growing population, the demand for better transportation facilities is also rising proportionally. It includes better road conditions, smooth traffic flow, and connectivity between different areas. Thus, various government agencies are focusing on developing their road infrastructure. Multiple projects are being regularly undertaken, across the region, to reduce connectivity woes, and are expected to include appropriate traffic management systems over the coming years. Additionally, several nations focus on developing smart cities and smart roadways. The smart roadways concept brings harmonization between the road and the vehicle.

Roads are planted with different sensors, which will collect multivariate data. Such data will be exchanged with the vehicles traveling on the road, thus, ensuring a safer and smoother ride. For example, sensors from the road can alert a driver about a pothole, while data from vehicles can be used to gauge the traffic level at each time point. Such multivariate data can be used to anticipate traffic disruptions, pollution levels, road conditions, and reporting accidents. Smart roadways can aid traffic management, vehicular and pedestrian safety, and environmental monitoring.

Considering the rising expenditure on infrastructure, growing demand for safety, and increasing integration of IoT-enabled devices inside vehicles, the traffic management market can be expected to grow quickly during the forecast period.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East & Africa traffic management market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
