The global Public Transportation Market size is expected to reach USD 309.1 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2028. The market is driven by the economic growth in Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa and the increasing number of megacities in the region. According to the World Economic Forum data, by the year 2030, six cities will emerge as new megacities, including Dar es Salaam, Luanda, and Chennai, as the population keeps flocking to urban areas. Increasing government initiatives and the development of smart cities also facilitate the growth of public transportation.
The
market growth can be attributed to the increasing technological advancements
such as electric buses, BRT systems, contactless ticketing solutions, improving
the public transport experience, and increasing ridership. The market witnessed
a steep decline in the overall ridership and revenue as an immediate effect of
the Covid-19 pandemic. Worldwide, numerous countries imposed restrictions and
lockdowns, which inhibited commuters from riding public transport and compelled
them to opt for private means of transport. Over the forecast years, the market
is expected to recover with steady growth.
The
online distribution channel is anticipated to expand at a lucrative CAGR of
8.9% from 2022 to 2028. Increasing use of smartphones, digital
payment solutions, and increasing penetration of internet services are
propelling the online segment growth in the global market. Increasing
initiatives to adopt contactless ticketing and the integration of hassle-free
online platforms are anticipated to contribute to the growth of the online
segment. For instance, the CIVITAS initiative in European cities for smart and
sustainable transport policy with the implementation of innovative ticketing
and payment.
Based
on mode type, the road segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over
55.0% in 2021. The road is an integral part of public transport in the urban
and local areas across the world. Widespread availability and higher ridership
by road transport are responsible for the large market share. Bus rapid transit
system implemented in many cities has a high success rate and high public
satisfaction, providing fast and sophisticated transport option, thereby
increasing the ridership.
The
Middle East and Africa is anticipated to register the 2nd highest
CAGR of 6.0% from 2022 to 2028. Rapid urbanization and economic growth in the
Middle East and Africa are leading to the expansion of smart cities in the
region. Population migration to the urban areas is likely to increase rapidly
over the forecast years. Governments across the region are investing and
planning to provide sustainable and advanced public transportation solutions.
For instance, UAE is planning to expand its public transportation system even
further, with Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy, Surface Transport
Master Plan, and Abu Dhabi Transportation Mobility Management Strategy.
