North America is estimated to contribute 32% to the growth by 2028. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. Factors such as the growing demand, increasing environmental concerns, and stringency of regulatory frameworks are driving the sector in the region. In particular, as regards the quality of service, transport demand is continuing to increase.
Moreover, the growing traffic congestion has added to the need for a more efficient transportation mode. As three-fourths of the European Union (EU) population stays in urban areas, urbanization, and growing competition due to globalization are bringing a significant change in the sector in the region. In the EU, digitalization programs have been introduced over the past three years by rail operators and government agencies in various Member States. Therefore, the market in the region will grow during the forecast period.
The market is evolving rapidly with the advent of future mobility solutions and advanced electronic devices. Transportation management control systems are integrating sensors to efficiently manage multiple vehicles. App-based mobility services and on-demand mobility services are transforming commuting patterns, reducing latency, and enhancing user experience. In international trade, international eCommerce is driving demand for efficient commercial aircraft operations, leading to a focus on optimizing fleet size. Open payment systems and smart card readers are simplifying transactions in transportation, while NFV systems are enhancing network efficiency. In maritime transport, marine software applications are improving operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They also address urban challenges like traffic control systems, parking problems, and public transportation optimization, leveraging 5G-based connectivity and promoting autonomous vehicles and mobility as a service (MaaS) for sustainable and efficient smart mobility solutions.
Technological advances and the adoption of advanced technologies are major factors driving the growth of the market. All modes of transport can increase operational efficiency and improve services to commuters in a quicker manner by applying modern technologies. Advanced technologies such as automation, AI, and machine learning have the potential to revolutionize transportation.
In addition, data analytics can speed up the root cause analyses, which will reduce the number of man-hours spent on such tasks. In the information provided by operators, advances in technology have led to standardization, transparency, and scalability that enable them to make more informed decisions on how assets are performing. Operators realizing the benefits of advanced technologies will drive adoption and support the growth of the market.
The sector generates a vast amount of big data from interconnected stakeholders. The data are of fundamental importance and can be used for improved passenger security and the efficiency of stations and freight operations. As transportation networks become smart, there are ample sources from where data is generated. In addition, in several functions within the transport industry, operators have become more and more interested in IoT and Big Data.
Moreover, the monitoring process can be performed at remote locations, helping to identify any problems that may occur while the vehicle is operating. Hence, the use of IoT and big data will benefit the sector and shape its future. Thus, the involvement of IoT and big data is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high investments required for initial infrastructure hinder the adoption of smart transportation. For countries whose budgetary constraints, transportation projects can pose an enormous burden and governments may take loans from international agencies, which will increase the debt of the governments and the companies involved in managing transportation.
Moreover, the post-deployment failure of any infrastructure element owing to some technical error or the problems of integration can have a serious impact, such as the loss of life or substantial replacement costs. It is estimated that the high initial cost of deployment will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
