Global Automated and Convenient Transportation Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

The global Automated and Convenient Transportation market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1482 million in 2025 to US$ 2121 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2031.

Transport automation considers the range of technologies and control systems that can be implemented for kinds of transportation modes, but also at terminals such as airports, ports, and distribution centers. Transport automation is the pursuit of the goal of removing the human element from transportation systems. Automated transport systems involve the application of modes of transport that function automatically, without human intervention. In this report, automated and convenient transportation mainly focus on rail (and dedicated lanes) transportation solutions with automated and convenient capabilities.

Global key players of Automated and Convenient Transportation include Alstom and Siemens, etc. The top two players hold a share over 50%. Alstom is the largest manufacturers of Automated and Convenient Transportation in the world, has a share about 35%. China is the largest market, has a share about 38%. In terms of product type, Heavy Automated and Convenient Transportation is the largest segment, occupied for a share of about 70%, and in terms of application, Airports Traffic has a share about 70 percent.

Analysis of market drivers of Automated and Convenient Transportation,

1. Technological innovation and cost optimization

Breakthroughs in autonomous driving technology:

Sensor fusion: LiDAR costs will drop by 60% in 5 years (Yole forecast), and 4D millimeter-wave radar resolution will be increased to 0.1°, promoting the commercialization of L4 autonomous driving.

AI algorithm evolution: large models optimize decision-making and planning, and the takeover rate of complex scenarios will be reduced from the current 1 time/1,000 kilometers to 0.5 times/10,000 kilometers.

Vehicle-road collaboration (V2X):

5G-V2X penetration rate will reach 40% in 2030 (ABI Research), achieving intersection signal light collaboration and beyond-line-of-sight perception, and improving traffic efficiency by 30%.

2. Policy and infrastructure support

Government investment increases:

The U.S. Infrastructure Act invests $110 billion in intelligent transportation, and the EU's European Transport Intelligence System (ETSI) promotes the unification of cross-border standards.

China's "new infrastructure" plans to deploy more than one million roadside units (RSUs) to build a smart city transportation network.

Regulations are loosened: Shenzhen, California and other places allow autonomous driving tests without safety officers. Germany amends the "Autonomous Driving Law" to clarify the responsibility and accelerate commercialization.

3. Changes in consumer behavior

Convenience premium:

72% of consumers are willing to pay 20% more for the "last mile" autonomous driving shuttle service (McKinsey survey), and the pain points of urban commuting have given rise to demand.

Shared autonomous driving fleets (such as Zoox) provide on-demand mobility as a service (MaaS) to replace the private car ownership model.

Aging and barrier-free needs:

The global population over 65 years old will reach 1 billion in 2030. Autonomous driving vehicles will solve the driving problems of the elderly/disabled. Japan/Europe will take the lead in deploying aging-friendly fleets.

4. Penetration of the sharing economy model

Asset utilization revolution:

The average daily number of orders for autonomous taxis (Robotaxi) has increased from 15 orders for manual driving to 30 orders, and the operating cost of each vehicle has been reduced by 40% (Uber ATG data).

In the freight sector, autonomous trucks (such as TuSimple) achieve 24-hour continuous transportation, saving 70% of labor costs.

5. Carbon neutrality goals force

Transportation emission reduction pressure:

Global transportation carbon emissions need to be reduced by 20% by 2030 (Paris Agreement goal). Autonomous driving optimizes traffic flow and popularizes electric platforms, helping to reduce emissions by 35% per vehicle.

Intelligent transportation systems reduce congestion by 15% (World Bank data), indirectly reducing fuel consumption/emissions.

6. Post-epidemic behavioral inertia

Normalization of contactless services:

The use of autonomous delivery vehicles (such as Nuro) surged by 300% during the epidemic, and consumer acceptance jumped from 35% to 68% (Statista).

Shared travel hygiene standards have been upgraded, and the automation rate of disinfection in autonomous driving cabins has reached 95%.

7. Cross-industry ecological integration

Technology giants enter the market:

Apple, Huawei and others have deployed in-vehicle computing platforms, and NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chip computing power reaches 254 TOPS, supporting multi-sensor fusion.

Travel platforms (Uber/Didi) cooperate with car companies to customize Robotaxi to accelerate the implementation of scenarios.

Market growth forecast and competition focus

Winning factors:

Data closed-loop capability: Tesla accumulates 10 billion miles of road data through shadow mode to optimize the algorithm iteration speed.

Localized compliance: Waymo focuses on the suburbs of the United States, AutoX focuses on urban villages in China, and differentiated scenarios break through.

Summary: The three core driving forces of technology cost inflection point, policy infrastructure coordination, and consumer generational demand changes, superimposed with carbon neutrality and public health events, are reshaping the transportation industry value chain. Chinese companies need to strengthen the output capabilities of vehicle-road-cloud integrated solutions and compete for the right to speak in standard setting.
