Automated Parking System Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Application Type (Commercial Parking, Residential Parking), By Automation Level (Fully Automated, Semi-Automated), By Component Type (Hardware, Software), and Regional Forecasts, 2021-2028

The global automated parking system market size was USD 1.19 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 1.33 billion in 2021 to USD 3.62 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 15.29% during the 2021-2028 period. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with automated parking system witnessing a negative impact on demand across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a lower growth of -6.7% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

An automated parking system (APS) is a mechanical device that optimizes the space or volume needed to park cars. An automated parking facility (APF) provides parking spaces for vehicles on multiple levels stacked vertically to optimize the available number of parking spots while limiting area utilization, similar to a multi-story parking space. Moreover, the car parking system uses a mechanical system to transport vehicles to and from parking spaces, saving space in multi-story parking garages.

Increasing vehicle numbers, limited parking land, rising need for green & sustainable parking solutions, strong demand for consumer comfort and convenience, growing demand for high-rise buildings, along with the government smart city initiatives are the key development drivers expected to fuel demand for this market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Drop-in New Vehicle Sales And Declining Parking Activity Will Impede The Market Growth

A global economic downturn has occurred from the COVID-19 outbreak. Lockdowns imposed in several regions of the world to stop the virus from spreading triggered supply chain delays and the temporary shutdown of many production sites.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the robotic parking systems market. Due to the global lockdown limitation, new vehicle manufacture and sales, including passenger cars, have been halted. Due to the supply chain interruption, raw materials essential to manufacturing other automotive parts were unavailable, causing manufacturing delays. As a result, the industrial economy has experienced a rapid decline. Several countries worldwide have had and are experiencing varying degrees of lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, cities are seeing a significant reduction in traffic overcrowding. According to SpotHero, Inc., a smart parking solutions provider located in the United States, requirement  for parking systems has declined  by 90% in the U. S. since mid-March 2020. This drop is projected to influence the country's market negatively and worldwide, at least for now. However, post covid-19 pandemic, Following the COVID-19 epidemic, people are predicted to use their cars for lonely travel and prevent shared mobility, such as public transportation. It is expected to increase traffic congestion in many cities worldwide.

Furthermore, traffic jams are expected to increase  demand for global automated parking facilities during the forecast period. With increasing traffic congestion, demand for smart parking systems may help municipal administrations properly manage dispersed parking spaces and assist drivers in discovering available parking spots, which is expected to grow. These systems' capability to provide the required flexibility and scalability is further expected to trigger automated parking system market growth.

Although the duration of the pandemic is difficult to predict, the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in early 2021 is projected to boost the automotive sector.

Automation has become more common in parking lots worldwide, and it is a valuable tool for increasing parking efficiency. The process is all about using machinery to automate the process of parking cars. Hence the growing adoption of automation will drive the market shortly.

DRIVING FACTORS 

Growing Smart City Initiatives From Government To Set A Positive Trend  for Market Growth

The market is expanding due to high-rise structures, luxury projects, and real-estate developers' inclination to adopt automated solutions. According to the World Construction Network, the real estate industry is also expected to grow at a considerable CAGR during the projection period. An increasing fleet of personal and commercial vehicles, combined with a shortage of parking spaces, has resulted in traffic congestion in various locations worldwide. According to studies, drivers/vehicle owners searching for vacant spots account for about 35 percent to 40 percent of overall congestion in different major cities worldwide. Furthermore, the time and fuel spent looking for unoccupied places contribute significantly to emissions and air pollution.

According to a 2017 INTRIX study, the average German driver spends 41 hours per year looking for a parking spot. The cost of lost fuel, time, and pollution are over USD 45 billion. The expanding population puts considerable pressure on parking infrastructure, necessitating the expansion of existing infrastructure in metropolitan areas. Furthermore, rising per capita income and improved lifestyles have increased demand for personal mobility, resulting in enhanced vehicle sales in urban areas. Due to this, the number of vehicles on the road significantly exceeds the number the available parking spaces in cities. These key market drivers push car parking systems to help people get more out of their parking spots. Other benefits driving global adoption of these systems include higher efficiency, expanded capacity, increased ROI, lower CO2 emissions generated while driving about looking for unoccupied places and enhanced safety and security.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Initial Capital Investment May Hamper Market Growth

Despite the growing market across several regions, the initial investment required to establish high-quality parking systems is high. This high capital requirement for building such systems may hinder market growth in several ways. Furthermore, these are highly complex solutions with challenges with quality control. Creating an automated parking facility project is also a difficult task that necessitates the consideration of several elements. Manufacturers have considerable hurdles due to the lack of regulation for monitoring these devices' operation and quality control concerns. Fully car parking system cost is higher than semi-automated parking facility, which is a major restraining factor for the market growth. Furthermore, a fully automated parking system design is more complex than a semi-automated parking facility.

Commercial Parking Dominates the Market Owing to Rising Vehicles on Road

The market is segmented into commercial and residential parking based on application type.

The commercial parking segment dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 70% in 2020. The commercial parking segment holds the largest market share owing to the rising demand for parking slots in commercial buildings and shopping malls. The constant increase in the number of vehicles on the road has reduced the availability of parking spots, resulting in traffic congestion and increased pollution in major cities throughout the world. Because of the numerous advantages of car parking systems in addressing these difficulties and benefits, such as improved space utilization and security, demand for these systems is expected to grow at a promising rate in the commercial area shortly.

The residential parking segment is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing market segment during the forecast period. It is due to increased residential buildings and the adoption of luxury facilities worldwide. Additionally, rapid urbanization and expanded per capita income have improved several countries' lifestyles. Furthermore, in recent years, increased purchasing power has resulted in a significant increase in new car sales. As a result of the rising need for vertical parking slots in ever-shrinking urban residential spaces, the demand for automated parking facilities is likely to rise.

By Automation Level Analysis

Fully Automated Segment Holds Largest Market Share Due to High Efficiency and Less Space Requirement

The market is divided into fully automated and semi-automated parking based on the automation level.
