The passenger information system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $29.44 billion in 2025 to $33.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of public transportation usage, early digital signage adoption, need for schedule transparency, urban transit expansion, demand for improved commuter experience.

The passenger information system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart transport infrastructure investments, integration of AI analytics, expansion of multimodal transport networks, increasing passenger expectations, adoption of cloud-based systems. Major trends in the forecast period include real-time passenger information displays, cloud-based content management systems, multimodal transport information integration, mobile passenger information applications, ai-based predictive arrival analytics.

The increasing demand for smartphones is expected to propel the growth of the passenger information system market going forward. Smartphones are advanced mobile devices that combine the functionality of a traditional cellular phone with various features and capabilities typically associated with computers. Smartphones provide users to access real-time information with passenger information systems, people can receive up-to-date details about public transportation services, such as arrival times, delays, and route changes. For instance, in August 2025, according to Uswitch, a UK‑based mobile data and analysis platform, in 2023, nearly 89 % of mobile phone users in the UK used their smartphones to go online, and by 2024, mobile phone ownership had reached around 96 % of the population. Smartphones are increasingly ubiquitous, spending an average 3.49 hours per day in use. Therefore, increasing demand for smartphones is driving the growth of the passenger information system market.

Major companies operating in the passenger electric vehicles market are focusing on innovative products such as electric vehicle batteries to drive revenues in their market. An electric vehicle (EV) battery is a critical component of electric vehicles, responsible for storing and supplying electrical energy to power the vehicle's electric motor. For instance, in May 2023, Gotion High Tech Co Ltd., a China-based battery manufacturing company for electric vehicles launched a new AV battery with a 1000 km range called Astroinno. The new battery may have a better energy density than typical lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries and be less expensive than those that primarily rely on nickel and cobalt. The energy density of the Astroinno battery is 240 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg) at the cell level and 190 Wh/kg at the system level.

In April 2024, Amadeus IT Group S.A., a Spain‑based travel‑technology company, acquired Vision‑Box, a Portugal‑based hardware and software provider for airports, airlines and border control, for an enterprise value of approximately €320 million (roughly US$344 million). With this acquisition, Amadeus aimed to strengthen its end‑to‑end passenger journey offering, integrating Vision‑Box’s biometric and digital‑identity solutions into its passenger‑processing and information systems to deliver a seamless, real‑time experience. Vision‑Box is a fast‑growing global business specialising in biometric terminals, software platforms and integrated hardware solutions for airports and transit operators.

The passenger information system is an automated setup utilized in public transport terminals to monitor delays, disruptions, and forecast arrival and departure schedules. These systems play a pivotal role in enhancing customer satisfaction, minimizing complaints, boosting service utilization, and facilitating better planning within the transportation network.

Passenger information systems consist of three main components such as hardware, software, and services. Hardware encompasses the physical components of computers and related devices, and these are deployed both on board and in stations. The scope of transportation modes covered includes railways, roadways, airways, and waterways. In terms of functionality, passenger information systems incorporate multimedia displays, audio systems, computing systems, networking and communication devices, video surveillance, content management systems, and other functional models to provide comprehensive and efficient information services to passengers.

The passenger information systems market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing prerecorded announcement and interactive voice response system. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers.
