The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early adoption of speed cameras in urban areas, growth in municipal traffic enforcement programs, reliance on traditional imaging sensors, expansion of road safety initiatives, development of fixed and mobile monitoring systems.

The smart traffic camera market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.74 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for automated traffic management, adoption of cloud-connected enforcement cameras, expansion of smart city mobility programs, growth in high-resolution imaging technologies, increasing deployment of integrated surveillance platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of AI-based traffic violation detection, integration of IoT-connected surveillance systems, deployment of autonomous traffic monitoring platforms, advancement of cloud-enabled traffic analytics, development of intelligent road safety enforcement solutions.

An increasing number of road accidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the smart traffic camera market in the coming years. Road accidents are incidents that occur on roadways when vehicles collide with one another or with other objects, leading to vehicle damage and injuries to those involved. Smart traffic cameras are vital in mitigating road accidents by monitoring and enforcing traffic regulations while enhancing overall road safety through real-time surveillance and data-driven interventions. For instance, in 2023, the Transport Accident Commission, an Australian government agency, reported that 295 people lost their lives on Victorian roads, reflecting a 22.4% increase (54 more fatalities) compared to 2022. Additionally, there were 261 fatal crashes, an increase of 22 (9%) from the 239 recorded in the previous year. Thus, the rising number of road accidents is propelling the growth of the smart traffic camera market.
