The market is driven by the increasing demand for efficient smart transit systems in urban areas, coupled with the growing adoption of contactless payments and smartphones. Key trends include the integration of wearable technologies and blockchain technology for enhanced security in smart ticketing systems. However, challenges such as data safety and security risks, along with the complexity of certification and ensuring tamper-resistant hardware, pose significant hurdles. Addressing these challenges while leveraging emerging technologies is crucial for the continued growth and innovation in the market.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the successful application of various technologies. Factors such as dynamic technological innovations including mobile ticketing, radio frequency identification (RFID), and near-field communication (NFC) are significantly contributing to the market growth. In addition, NFC helps in connecting electronic devices that are used in these systems.
Moreover, RFID is another significant technology that is used in these systems for identification, payment, and security purposes. In addition, the use of RFID technology, along with embedded systems and RFID tags, leads to an improved and efficient automated train ticketing system. Furthermore, a majority of stations globally have RFID reader circuits that facilitate the calculation of ticket charges. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the use of blockchain technology in ticketing systems. Factors such as the increasing fraud and extortionate secondary market (resale) tickets are some of the significant challenges faced by the ticketing industry. Thus, there is a significant adoption of blockchain technology as it helps in recording each transaction and tracking ticket buyers. In addition, it enables event managers to maintain a track record and detailed history of payment transactions.
Moreover, the technology helps identify whether a ticket has been resold and the price of the same. Therefore, the blockchain has helped ticketing technology providers in fraud prevention. In addition, the blockchain has also resulted in the standardization of the ticketing protocol. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The high cost of setting up and implementing smart ticketing is one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. Their implementation comprises high costs in the installation of the required infrastructure. In addition, it is a huge drain on the financial resources of a country as the old system needs to be replaced with a new infrastructure.
Moreover, the cost of setting up and maintaining the access gates, contactless readers, AFC systems, and validation equipment is high. In addition, the implementation of technology needs funds from the public sector, which is often associated with budget overruns and delays. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
