세계의 전자요금징수(ETC) 시장 예측(-2032년) : 통행료 시스템 유형별, 제공 제품별, 차량 유형별, 용도별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electronic Toll Collection Market is accounted for $11.5 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $24.5 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is an advanced system that enables automated toll payments without requiring vehicles to stop. Using technologies like RFID, GPS, and camera recognition, ETC identifies vehicles and deducts toll charges electronically from prepaid accounts or linked payment methods. This system improves traffic flow, reduces congestion, and enhances fuel efficiency by eliminating the need for manual transactions. Widely implemented on highways and expressways, ETC enhances convenience for drivers while optimizing revenue collection for authorities. It also minimizes human errors, reduces operational costs, and supports smart transportation infrastructure development globally.

According to NETC Organization, commuters crossed around 2.4 billion online transactions worth around USD 380.8 billion through digital payment methods. It reduced the waiting time of commuters at toll plazas. ETC helps to lessen the wait time by around 2 minutes per vehicle at the toll plaza.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for efficient traffic management

The rising demand for efficient traffic management is driving growth in the market. As urbanization and vehicle numbers surge, traditional toll systems struggle with congestion and delays. ETC provides a seamless solution by automating transactions, reducing wait times, and improving road efficiency. Governments and transport authorities worldwide are adopting ETC systems to enhance revenue collection, minimize human errors, and optimize road usage. Technological advancements, including AI-driven analytics and GPS integration, further boost adoption, making ETC essential for modern traffic management.

Restraint:

Lack of standardization and interoperability issues

Lack of standardization and interoperability issues pose significant challenges in the market. Inconsistent technologies across regions create compatibility problems, forcing drivers to use multiple payment systems and transponders. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies, higher operational costs, and reduced user convenience. It hinders seamless cross-border travel and slows adoption rates. Without unified protocols, toll operators struggle with integration, limiting the effectiveness of smart transportation initiatives. Addressing these issues is crucial for ensuring streamlined toll collection and enhancing the overall efficiency of ETC systems.

Opportunity:

Increased focus on transportation infrastructure development

The market is benefiting from the increased focus on transportation infrastructure development. Governments and private sectors are investing heavily in modernizing highways, expressways, and urban roads to enhance mobility and reduce congestion. ETC systems play a vital role by enabling seamless toll transactions, improving traffic efficiency, and supporting sustainable urban expansion. With smart transportation initiatives and advancements in automation, the adoption of ETC is accelerating, contributing to cost-effective, streamlined toll collection and fostering the future of intelligent road networks.

Threat:

Overreliance of ETC on technology and susceptibility to technical failure

Overreliance on technology in Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems makes them vulnerable to technical failures, leading to disruptions in toll operations. System malfunctions, software glitches, or hardware failures can result in transaction errors, delays, and revenue losses. Cybersecurity threats, including hacking and data breaches, further expose weaknesses in automated toll collection. Additionally, power outages or network issues can render ETC systems temporarily unusable, causing congestion and inconvenience for drivers. A balanced approach with robust backup solutions is essential to mitigate these risks effectively.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the market. While travel restrictions and reduced traffic volumes led to a temporary decline in toll revenues, the crisis accelerated the adoption of contactless payment solutions. Governments and toll operators prioritized automated systems to minimize physical interactions, enhancing efficiency and safety. The demand for digital toll collection surged as hygiene concerns shaped consumer preferences. This shift toward touchless transactions strengthened the long-term growth prospects of ETC, driving innovation and infrastructure investments.

The open toll system segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The open toll system segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. This system enhances traffic flow and reduces congestion, especially in urban areas. It operates through transponders, license plate recognition, or mobile apps, ensuring seamless toll deduction. The open toll model is gaining popularity due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to integrate with smart transportation infrastructure, making it ideal for modern road networks.

The bridges & tunnels segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the bridges & tunnels segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. ETC systems on these structures enable automatic toll payments using RFID tags, license plate recognition, or mobile payment methods, reducing delays and improving safety. By eliminating the need for manual toll booths, ETC enhances operational efficiency and helps maintain the structural integrity of bridges and tunnels through better traffic management.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share. Technological advancements in RFID, GPS, and cloud computing are enhancing toll collection processes, enabling faster transactions and reduced congestion. The integration of ETC systems with smart city projects is promoting seamless transportation networks and real-time traffic management across the region. Additionally, the adoption of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication technologies is enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of toll collection processes, thereby reducing revenue leakage.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR driven by rise in vehicle ownership are leading to higher traffic volume. There is a growing emphasis on modernizing transportation infrastructure, with governments investing in smart mobility solutions to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. Increasing urbanization and a rise in vehicle ownership are leading to higher traffic volumes, necessitating the implementation of automated tolling systems to manage congestion.
