The automated people mover market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The automated people mover market has seen steady growth in recent years. It will increase from $2.76 billion in 2024 to $2.95 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The growth is driven by the growing demand for airport transport solutions, urbanization, the increasing number of airports globally, higher infrastructure investments, the desire to reduce travel time, and rising demand for smart mobility solutions.
The automated people mover market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The automated people mover market is expected to grow to $3.82 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 6.7%.
Growth drivers include increasing demand for public transport, the need for improved safety and energy-efficient transportation solutions, rising sustainability concerns, and demand for space-efficient technologies. Key trends include technological advancements in APM systems, automation and safety measures, energy-efficient technologies, and the introduction of innovative transportation technologies.
A growing need for public transportation is also set to fuel the growth of the automated people mover (APM) market. APMs are integrated with public transport networks like subways, buses, and trains, providing seamless and automated transit options that enhance accessibility. This trend is supported by factors such as infrastructure investments and environmental concerns. In April 2024, the American Public Transportation Association reported that 7.1 billion transit trips were made in 2023, marking a 16% rise from 2022, highlighting the growing demand for public transport.
