The Global Traffic Sensors Market was valued at USD 740.4 million in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2035.
Market growth is driven by accelerating adoption of smart city frameworks, increasing need for real-time traffic observation, closer integration with connected and autonomous mobility ecosystems, public-sector focus on intelligent transportation programs, and continuous progress in sensor design and IoT-enabled connectivity. Traffic authorities are increasingly deploying real-time traffic management platforms that rely on continuous data streams from sensors and connected infrastructure to improve traffic flow, limit congestion, and enhance roadway safety. These systems enable faster operational responses, dynamic control of traffic signals, and improved performance across urban and intercity transport networks. Governments are prioritizing intelligent mobility systems that incorporate advanced sensing and monitoring technologies to support safer road usage and better compliance. Integrated traffic intelligence platforms are supporting predictive traffic analysis, coordinated incident response, and more efficient mobility planning, aligning with broader urban transportation and safety objectives.
Government agencies are described as intensifying investments in smart transportation networks that embed advanced sensing capabilities to improve operational efficiency and roadway safety. These initiatives focus on real-time traffic visibility, predictive incident detection, and coordinated response mechanisms that collectively support safer and more reliable road infrastructure while advancing urban mobility strategies.
The portable and mobile sensors segment will grow at a CAGR of 11.6% during 2026 to 2035. Growth in this segment is attributed to demand for flexible traffic monitoring solutions that allow rapid deployment and cost-efficient data collection without permanent infrastructure requirements, supporting wider adoption across planning and operational use cases.
The wired connectivity segment generated USD 434.2 million in 2025. Wired sensor systems are described as being widely implemented due to their reliability and capacity to support high-volume data transmission for centralized traffic control systems. Continued investment in fiber-based intelligent transportation infrastructure is supporting adaptive traffic control and improved safety across dense urban corridors.
North America Traffic Sensors Market accounted for 28.7% share in 2025. Regional growth is driven by sustained public investment in smart city development and intelligent transportation programs, led by the United States and Canada. Integration of AI-driven analytics, IoT connectivity, and adaptive traffic control technologies is enhancing real-time traffic operations and emergency management. Governments globally are also pursuing modernization and retrofit initiatives that incorporate non-intrusive sensors and edge-based analytical capabilities.
