Automatic Barriers Market

Automatic Barriers Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

Expanding at a CAGR of 5.6%, the global automatic barriers market is expected to increase from a valuation of US$ 3.08 billion in 2023 to US$ 5.29 billion by 2033-end.

Automatic barriers are electromechanical technologies that are used to regulate and watch over vehicle access and exit in various locations, including parking lots, private spaces, and commercial buildings. They are built with superior security and safety measures to provide a long operating life.

Automatic barriers function by raising and lowering a beam (arm) that prevents vehicle access using an electric motor or hydraulic operator. They can be activated in several ways, including by keypad, remote control, access card, or token acceptor. The opening times, use frequencies, and beam lengths of the barriers might vary based on the model and application needs.

Automatic barriers are further segmented into automatic boom barriers, automatic bollards, automatic barrier gates, and automatic height restrictor barriers. Automatic boom barriers have the largest market share in terms of both volume and value.

• Sales of automatic boom barriers are expected to increase at a CAGR of 5.7% during the projected period.

Asia Pacific is home to several developing countries that are undergoing tremendous development and change. Along with the installation of toll booths, the infrastructure for highways has grown significantly.

Demand for vehicles has been healthily increasing over the last few years, and as a result, toll booth technology has advanced quickly. Thus, rapid infrastructural development and urbanization are boosting the demand for automatic barriers. Numerous contractors and road authorities also use automatic boom barrier systems to make congested routes safer, more effective, and more functional. It contributes to a decrease in fatal cross-over crashes.

• Recently, TiSO Turnstiles introduced the slimmest-footprint Sweeper-S speed barrier gate. The turning of the wings is done by a mechanism that resembles an extra extension for a broader turnstile. The cabinet, on the other hand, is only 110 mm broader, allowing it to fit in tight locations.

Why are Automatic Barriers Popular across Geographies?

“Advantages of Quick Functioning & Easy Operations of Automatic Barriers”

When compared to manual barriers, automatic barriers are about 60% more effective and also simpler to use in operations. These characteristics result from automation and quick functioning. The main cause of the strong demand is growing public safety concerns brought on by rising crime rates around the world.

Over the past ten years, criminal activities have increased dramatically, including serious traffic violations, criminal acts by gangs, assaults, and drug-related activities. To stop these acts, automatic iron, steel, and aluminium barriers can be installed in high-traffic areas. This effectively increases the sales of automatic barriers. During the forecast period, a growing number of construction projects and the emergence of locally based safety policies are anticipated to fuel demand for automatic barriers.

“Power of IoT - Ground-breaking Discoveries in Parking System Technologies”

Increasing need for Internet of Things (loT)-based technologies, growing parking concerns, and a strong automobile adoption rate are all driving factors behind the development of the smart parking system. Additionally, market players are expected to benefit greatly from the growing popularity of driverless vehicle development and respective government efforts for developing smart cities all over the world.

The popularity of e-payment options and cashless transactions is generating potential opportunities for providers of smart parking solutions. Furthermore, developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence are helping manufacturers make ground-breaking discoveries.

Parking systems are improving as a result of technological advancements. While IoT-based automatic barriers are gaining popularity, the integration of modern technologies such as push buttons, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, radio frequency identification (RFID) readers, and remote controls is also increasing due to rising safety concerns.

• A smartphone-controlled automatic gate barrier is offered by Parklio, a European provider of parking products and solutions, and can be used to monitor traffic in both directions and protect car parks, exits, closed-off areas, checkpoints, or any other type of exit/entry point.

“Public Safety Takes Center Stage: Automated Barriers and Bollards Gaining Popularity in Crowded Commercial Places”

Many developing countries in the South America, Asia Pacific, and Africa are experiencing rapid development and modernization. Both the infrastructure of the roads and the number of toll booth installations each year are experiencing significant development, which is further increasing the need for automatic barrier installations.

In crowded and commercial places such as food courts, movie theatres, and events, and automated barriers and bollards are becoming more popular as public safety and security concerns increase. Boundary entrances are level pipes or bars that can be rotated to control the progression of moving vehicles by letting them go or stopping them.

Globally, street construction has provided an infrastructure for mechanized limits to be introduced outside (centre or sideways). Automated barriers and bollards prevent vehicle access to various indoor and outdoor construction, including tollgates, high-security zones, and parking lots of shops, offices, hotels, and sports facilities.

Which Obstacles are Hampering Revenue Growth of Manufacturers of Automatic Barriers?

The automatic barriers market is growing steadily with demand increasing due to the need for effective traffic control and security in various settings such as commercial, residential, and government. However, manufacturers in this industry face several challenges that must be overcome to remain competitive and meet the changing needs of customers.

“High Cost of Automatic Barriers”

Cost is a major challenge for manufacturers of automatic barriers. Customers are often looking for cost-effective solutions that meet their needs, and manufacturers must balance the cost of production with the final price of the product to remain competitive. Customers have different needs and requirements, and manufacturers must be able to offer a wide range of products and solutions to meet these needs.

Customization can be costly and time-consuming, so manufacturers must balance the demand for customization with the cost of production. Thus, the cost of automatic barriers may hamper product demand in some developing regions to some extent.

“Compatibility with Other Technologies Can Be Challenging”

Automatic barriers must integrate with various other systems and technologies such as security cameras, access control systems, and traffic management systems. Producers of automatic barriers must ensure that their products are compatible with these systems to provide a seamless user experience.

“High Cost of Maintenance”

Manufacturers of automatic barriers must provide adequate maintenance and support services for their products to ensure their reliability and longevity. This can be a challenge as barriers are often installed in remote locations, and maintenance and support can be costly.

What Will Aid Start-up Companies Drive Their Revenue Growth?

“Offer Competitive Pricing on Products”

Price is a crucial factor that influences customers' decisions. Providing automatic barriers at a cost-effective cost may attract more customers. Also, changes in pricing according to the regional demand may benefit newcomers to progress.
