The traffic signals market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for traffic signals has seen robust growth in the past few years. It is projected to rise from $27.35 billion in 2024 to $29.05 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.
The substantial growth observed in the historical timeframe can be accredited to potent economic development in burgeoning markets, the establishment of new traffic signals to enhance traffic management and safety, along with amplified investments in the development of road infrastructure.
The traffic signals market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of the traffic signals is anticipated to witness substantial expansion in the forthcoming years, reaching a value of $36.54 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%.
This upward trend during the anticipated period can be attributed to factors such as escalating urbanization, a rise in road traffic mishaps, and an upsurge in flight traffic. Foreseen trends for this period consist of an emphasis on LED technologies for enhanced illumination, reduced power utilization, and extended lifespan. Moreover, the utilization of artificial intelligence to observe traffic congestion and aid in traffic regulation, as well as the development of virtual traffic lights to eradicate the necessity for stop lights waiting times are additional prominent trends.
The initiation of new traffic indicators to boost traffic speed and decrease mishaps is bolstering the expansion of the traffic signals industry. These signals function as a system placed at road junctions and pedestrian walkways to regulate traffic movement. For example, in May 2023, The Nevada Department of Transportation, an agency operating under the US government, undertook a mission to install a new traffic light and renovate U.S. 50. Approximately 19,000 vehicles commute on this highway corridor daily and the initiative aimed at intensifying its safety and mobility. This increased need for new traffic signals promoted the demand in the traffic signals industry, thus stimulating its growth.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being recognized as a growing trend in the traffic signals market. AI-equipped traffic signals have the potential to decrease traffic jams. AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that can perform tasks usually requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language interpretation. For example, in June 2022, the Greater Hyderabad Muncipal Corporation (GHMC) introduced new Adaptive Traffic Signal Control (ATSC) systems that adjust the color of traffic signals in response to real-time traffic data. The ATSC system, by combining local and network-level optimization, minimizes delays and enhances the traffic stream along the city's main routes. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has developed the Composite Signal Control Strategy (CoSiCoSt), an innovative adaptive control method. CoSiCoSt alters the cycle time, green splits, and offsets in correlation with nearby intersections to manage real-time, area-wide traffic.
