Japan Smart Parking Systems Market - Overview

Through automated admittance control systems, parking guidance systems (PGS), parking reserving barriers, and ticketing systems, a smart parking system (SPS) improves parking spaces. It employs mechanical arrangements to transport cars from one parking space to another, thereby eliminating empty space in a multistory or single-story garage. It uses vehicle counting equipment, video cameras, automatic number plate recognition readers (ANPR), and pavement sensors to regulate parking lot occupancy and transmit data to a control center in real-time. It aims to improve traffic flow in congested areas and provide a systematic parking operation.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Number of Vehicles and Shrinking Parking Space

The number of vehicles on the road increases significantly each year, causing traffic congestion. Parking has become a major issue in major cities due to a large number of vehicles. The parking space supply-demand gap is growing year after year. Excessive traffic jams and congestions frustrate drivers, waste fuel, pollute the air and noise, and stymie productive economic activity. During the forecast period, these factors are expected to drive the global smart parking systems market.

Providing Bundled Services in Parking Areas

Valets, repair services, washing, maintenance, car sharing, and electric vehicle charging can be bundled with parking transactions in the long run. Such bundled services have the potential to increase occupancy, especially in commercial facilities geared toward travelers.

Restraints

Challenges in System Integration and Interoperability

System integration is a significant challenge with smart parking systems because there are numerous hardware and software platforms involved. Concerns about system scalability are brought up by the availability of so many different solutions and the lack of interoperability between them. Various hardware sensors, messaging systems, traffic control devices, wireless and wireline telecommunications systems, hardware and server drivers, and application interfaces are used by permit and enforcement (P&E) and parking access and revenue control (PARC) systems. Putting all of these devices together on a single platform is very difficult because their configurations are from various vendors. These elements are therefore anticipated to restrain market growth shortly.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Japan Smart Parking Systems Market

The smart parking market suffered as a result of the strict lockdowns and social seclusion used to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The uncertain economy, a partial business shutdown, and low consumer confidence all impacted demand for smart parking. During the pandemic, the supply chain and logistics operations were hampered. However, as restrictions are eased, the smart parking market is expected to pick up steam in the post-pandemic scenario.
