Global Automatic Number Plate Recognition Market Size -Global Industry Share, Analysis, Trends and Forecast 2022 - 2030

Report Summary

TheGlobal Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Market Size was valued at USD 2,598 Million in 2021 and is predicted to be worth USD 5,825 Million by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.6% from 2022 to 2030.The automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), also known as automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), is the technology used to detect, deter, and disrupt criminal activities such as tracking travelling criminals, and organized crime groups and terrorists at local and national level. ANPR technology offers a sequence of enquiry and evidence in investigation of crime and is used by law enforcement agencies across the world. In the recent years, IP-based communication networks and digitization has revolutionized the ANPR technology and encouraged its deployment by widening its application area. Automatic license plate recognition technology can be used to support following activities:

Enforcement of legislations relating to motor vehicles and their use
National security and counter terrorism
Improving road safety
Severe, organized and major crime
Lowering the level of crime
Crime prevention and reduction
As the vehicle passes an ANPR camera, the vehicle registration number is read by the camera and checked against the database records. In case of criminal activities, vehicles can be easily tracked and intercepted by enforcement personals. The data from ANPR cameras is securely transmitted to the back office platform, where it is managed and audited to support real-time detection and offer post-incident information. The use of ANPR has proven important in detection of numerous offences including tackling uninsured vehicles, locating stolen vehicles, and unwinding cases of organized crimes and terrorism among others.

Increase in the number of road accidents due to breach in traffic laws has encouraged law enforcement agencies to set up strict regulations and deploy safety measures such as red light control and speed control. To cater to the need of an hour, traffic enforcement departments across different countries are increasingly incorporating new technologies to improve road safety. A large number of traffic departments, primarily in Europe and North America, have installed ANPR systems as it is an important tool in traffic management, and ensures mobility and traffic safety. Improvement in traffic system can enable free-flowing traffic, resulting in faster mobility and low financial loss. Installation and maintenance of ANPR systems do not require stopping the traffic or installation of hardware inside or on the vehicle. Thus, it is a cost effective solution for traffic enforcement. Information obtained through ANPR cameras can be used in various applications such as journey time management, red light control, speed control, congestion charging and tolling. ANPR systems can also be used for identification of vehicles used by criminals, gathering intelligence, and crime investigation. Portable or fixed ANPR cameras are used to capture images of vehicles along with their license plates and to further link them to time and location of the crime.

ANPR technology is used at commercial spaces such as recreation parks to gather visitor information. For example, in Germany, the Phantasialand Theme Park uses ANPR cameras to get insights on types of visitors, patterns of return and their geographic distribution. The automatic number plate recognition technology has been used significantly by governments for traffic enforcement and security and surveillance applications. However, commercial end usage is increasing owing to the escalating demand for ANPR from vehicle parking applications such as parking security and parking fee collection. The market growth is strong in regions such as Europe and North America where ANPR has been installed in nearly every country for different application. In regions such as Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Latin America and Africa, developing economies hold the key potential for the growth of ANPR as both the government and commercial installations have increased in the recent years. A major trend in ANPR manufacturing is related to the development of ALPR board that converts vision cameras into license plate recognition devices. The future research on automatic number plate recognition is mainly focused on multistyle plate recognition, faster multiplate processing and ambiguous character recognition. However, the major focus currently is on introduction of new ANPR cameras and integration of ANPR technology with other technologies.
