Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the smart ticketing market growth is the successful application of various technologies. Factors such as dynamic technological innovations including mobile ticketing, radio frequency identification (RFID), and near-field communication (NFC) are significantly contributing to the market growth. In addition, NFC helps in connecting electronic devices that are used in smart ticketing systems.
Moreover, RFID is another significant technology that is used in smart ticketing systems for identification, payment, and security purposes. In addition, the use of RFID technology, along with embedded systems and RFID tags, leads to an improved and efficient automated train ticketing system. Furthermore, a majority of stations globally have RFID reader circuits that facilitate the calculation of ticket charges. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the smart ticketing market growth is the use of blockchain technology in ticketing systems. Factors such as the increasing fraud and extortionate secondary market (resale) tickets are some of the significant challenges faced by the ticketing industry. Thus, there is a significant adoption of blockchain technology as it helps in recording each transaction and tracking ticket buyers. In addition, it enables event managers to maintain a track record and detailed history of payment transactions.
Moreover, the technology helps identify whether a ticket has been resold and the price of the same. Therefore, the blockchain has helped ticketing technology providers in fraud prevention. In addition, the blockchain has also resulted in the standardization of the ticketing protocol. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The high cost of setting up and implementing smart ticketing is one of the key challenges hindering the smart ticketing market growth. The implementation of smart ticketing comprises high costs in the installation of the required infrastructure. In addition, it is a huge drain on the financial resources of a country as the old system needs to be replaced with a new infrastructure.
Moreover, the cost of setting up and maintaining the access gates, contactless readers, AFC systems, and validation equipment is high. In addition, the implementation of technology needs funds from the public sector, which is often associated with budget overruns and delays. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
