Road Safety Market Overview and Definition

The global road safety market size was valued at around USD 4.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of growth (CAGR) of around 9.2% from 2022 to 2032.The market size is projected to succeed in USD 11.5 billion by 2032.

The road safety market is a segment of the transportation and safety industry that deals with the production, distribution, and implementation of various safety measures and technologies designed to improve safety on roads and highways. The road safety market includes a wide range of products and services, such as traffic management systems, safety barriers, speed enforcement cameras, pedestrian safety solutions, and other safety equipment.

The road safety market is driven by several factors, including increasing concerns about traffic congestion, rising numbers of road accidents and fatalities, and growing investments in infrastructure development. The market is also fueled by technological advancements in the production and implementation of road safety solutions, which have improved their effectiveness and reliability.

The road safety market is highly competitive, and includes several major players, as well as many smaller companies and startups. The market is also subject to various regulations and quality standards related to safety and performance. As the demand for road safety solutions continues to grow, the road safety market is expected to expand significantly in the coming years.

The road safety market includes a range of stakeholders, including government agencies, private companies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These stakeholders work together to develop and implement road safety policies and initiatives aimed at reducing accidents, improving mobility, and increasing awareness about safe driving practices. The road safety market is also influenced by various factors such as road conditions, weather patterns, and driver behavior, which can impact the effectiveness of road safety solutions.

 Road traffic injuries are currently estimated to be the 8th leading cause of death across all age groups globally killing approximately around 1.35 million people every year.

Traffic safety which has been studied as a science for more than 75 years refers to the set of strategies, methods or measures used to prevent road users including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, vehicle passengers, horse riders, and passengers of on-road public transport from being killed or seriously injured.

It involves products, solutions, and services such as red-light enforcement, incident response and detection systems and installation, maintenance, and repair of these systems which help in maintaining traffic discipline and ensuring the safety of commuters. The components of traffic safety include median barrier, crash cushions, guardrail, and end treatments; truck escape ramps and breakaway support for signs and light standards.

Road safety technologies are of utmost importance, as most of these adverse events are preventable.

The global road safety market is expected to grow at a comprehensive CAGR in the years to follow.

Road Safety Market Drivers

The growth of this market is attributed towards major pertaining factors including but not limited to; the global rise in urban population and high demographic rates, the increasing need for public security and improvement in road infrastructure owing to surge in the number of road accidents and fatalities, the increasing demand of convenient mobility solution for transportation system, growing stringent government regulations and initiatives for enhancing road safety, the increasing utilization of smart technologies for road safety along with the rising technological advancements in the transportation sector etc.

Moreover, enforcement solutions and compliance measures implemented by various government departments along with other initiatives help in enforcing road traffic rules for speed and red light, bus lane compliance and others. Incident detection and response system aids in identifying the fatality/accidents’ location, time, reasoning, and other event-related information making these products highly desirable by users all around the globe, thereby, fueling the market growth.

Furthermore, rapid urbanization, the smart city initiative adopted by the governments, increasing number of crimes, terrorist attacks, and other natural disasters also increasingly enhance the road safety market growth.

However,  factors such as the lack of standardized and uniform technologies, difficulties in implementing advanced road safety infrastructure, over growing population of road users, the high initial investment to improve road safety solution along with the problems associated with the removal of old infrastructural facility instead of new ones, lack of awareness towards the importance of road safety and systems and lack of political will in developing countries are restraining the growth of this market.

More importantly, the COVID-19 outbreak has severely impacted transportation industry. With the increasing workplace closures and the dramatic drop in number of aviation passengers, taxis and other providers are beginning to feel the effects. However, the market for road safety is expected to recover soon and show a healthy growth in the near future owing to the scaling up of sales of the companies, coupled with existing long-term contracts.
