Smart Motion-Activated Crosswalk Global Market Report 2025

The smart motion-activated crosswalk market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.04 billion in 2024 to $2.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. The growth during the historic period is driven by increasing concerns over pedestrian safety, rising urban traffic congestion, higher investments in smart city infrastructure, a growing number of road accidents involving pedestrians, and increased demand for real-time traffic monitoring.

The smart motion-activated crosswalk market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The growth projected for the forecast period is supported by the wider implementation of adaptive traffic systems, greater use of AI in traffic management, expansion of government-funded safety programs, emphasis on walkable city initiatives, and rising demand for automated pedestrian detection. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in motion-sensing technologies, enhanced integration with traffic lights and CCTV, development of solar-powered crosswalk systems, innovations in LED-based signaling, and creation of real-time pedestrian analytics platforms.

The growing number of smart city projects is expected to drive growth in the smart motion-activated crosswalk market. A smart city uses digital technologies and data-driven solutions to improve performance, enhance well-being, and reduce costs and resource use. The expansion of smart city initiatives is fueled by increasing demand for sustainable urban infrastructure that boosts efficiency, connectivity, and quality of life. Smart motion-activated crosswalks improve pedestrian safety and traffic flow by automatically detecting movement and activating signals or lighting for safer crossings. For example, in April 2023, the Smart City Index Report by IMD Business School, a Switzerland-based institution, noted that the number of smart cities grew by 16.3%, from 118 cities in 2021 to 141 in 2023. This growth is driving demand for smart motion-activated crosswalk solutions.

Key companies in smart motion-activated crosswalk market are focusing on AI-driven crosswalk technology to monitor pedestrians, anticipate vehicle behavior, and optimize signal timing for improved safety and traffic efficiency. AI-driven crosswalk systems combine artificial intelligence with sensors and cameras to track pedestrian and vehicle movement in real time, adjusting alerts and signals to enhance safety. For instance, in February 2025, Peachtree Corners, a US-based government entity, partnered with ConnVAS, an Israel-based traffic and pedestrian safety company, to launch a pilot program using AI-driven crosswalk technology. The system detects pedestrians and cyclists intending to cross, as well as approaching vehicles, providing real-time alerts even before a user physically activates the system, thereby improving safety proactively.

In February 2025, Traffic & Parking Control Co., LLC (TAPCO), a US-based traffic and parking safety solutions provider, acquired Logix ITS for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition allows TAPCO to expand its intelligent transportation systems capabilities by integrating Logix ITS’s connected traffic safety solutions, including speed calming, pedestrian safety, and cloud-based traffic management technologies, into its existing portfolio. This strengthens TAPCO’s presence in North America and enhances its ability to provide comprehensive, technology-driven roadway safety solutions. Logix ITS, based in Canada, specializes in connected traffic safety systems, including pedestrian protection, speed enforcement, and cloud-based traffic management.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.

This smart motion-activated crosswalk market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

A smart motion-activated crosswalk is an advanced pedestrian crossing system equipped with sensors that detect the movement of pedestrians or cyclists and automatically trigger warning lights or signals. It aims to improve road safety by alerting drivers in real time, increasing visibility, and reducing accident risks at crossings.

The primary types of smart motion-activated crosswalks include embedded sensor systems, infrared-based systems, camera-based systems, and others. Embedded sensors are integrated detection devices installed within the crosswalk infrastructure to identify pedestrian movement and activate signals or lighting for enhanced safety. These systems operate using wired or wireless technologies and are distributed through direct sales, distributors, and online channels. They are used in urban roads, school zones, commercial areas, residential neighborhoods, and other locations, serving end-users such as municipalities, transportation authorities, and private developers.
