The electronic toll collection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing traffic on the highways, rising adoption of video analytics, the increasing adoption of digital toll payments with rising highway construction investments, increasing demand of contactless operations in toll plaza, rising awareness of road accidents and road traffic. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of advanced technologies, shift towards all-electronic tolling (AET), interoperability and standardization, adoption of mobile-based solutions, focus on user experience and customer service.

The growth of the electronic toll collection market is expected to be driven by the increasing highway traffic. Highway traffic refers to the flow of vehicles on the road, which can be affected by congestion, traffic volume, and transportation demand. The rise in highway traffic is often due to factors such as inadequate urban planning, roadway expansion, and phantom traffic jams. Traditional toll booths cause delays, especially during peak hours, leading to congestion and longer travel times. Electronic toll collection systems, however, eliminate the need for vehicles to stop or slow down at toll booths, enabling smooth passage through tolling points. This efficiency helps reduce travel times for commuters and increases the throughput capacity of highways, allowing them to handle higher traffic volumes without causing significant delays. For example, in May 2024, according to gov.UK, a UK-based government website, car and taxi traffic in Great Britain increased by 3% in 2023 compared to 2022, totaling 251.3 billion vehicle miles. As a result, the growing traffic on highways is driving the expansion of the electronic toll collection market.

Key players in the electronic toll collection market are prioritizing the development of advanced solutions to enhance system efficiency. In January 2024, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) introduced the 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' initiative to streamline toll operations and improve user experience at toll plazas. This initiative discourages the use of a single FASTag for multiple vehicles and encourages FASTag customers to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. By implementing this initiative, NHAI aims to ensure smooth and comfortable rides for users of national highways, thus driving the adoption of electronic toll collection systems.
