Electronic toll collection (ETC) is an automated system designed to gather tolls on highways, bridges, tunnels, and other roadways without necessitating vehicles to halt or decelerate at toll plazas. This technology offers drivers convenience by enabling uninterrupted passage through toll points, eliminating the need for cash payments or queuing at toll booths.
The primary types of electronic toll collection systems include Automatic Vehicle Classification (AVC), Violation Enforcement System (VES), Automatic Vehicle Identification System (AVIS), and other variants. AVC is a technology-driven system employed to identify and categorize vehicles based on their attributes such as size, weight, and axle count. These classifications serve various purposes including toll collection and traffic management. Payment methods typically involve prepaid, hybrid, and postpaid options, which are supported by technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or GPS, video analytics, cell phone tolling, and others. These technologies are utilized across highways and urban areas for efficient toll collection processes.

The electronic toll collection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.97 billion in 2023 to $8.71 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including an increasing demand for effective traffic management, widespread adoption of digital technologies, the necessity to enhance the speed and efficiency of traffic flow, a growing requirement for efficient toll-collection solutions, and the broader utilization of advanced technologies for transportation purposes.
The electronic toll collection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.59 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the escalating traffic volumes on highways, growing adoption of video analytics, increasing use of digital toll payment methods alongside rising investments in highway construction, growing demand for contactless operations at toll plazas, and heightened awareness regarding road accidents and traffic congestion. Key trends expected during this period include the integration of advanced technologies, a shift towards all-electronic tolling (AET), emphasis on interoperability and standardization, adoption of mobile-based solutions, and a focus on enhancing user experience and customer service.
The electronic toll collection market is poised for growth driven by the increasing traffic on highways. Highway traffic, influenced by factors such as congestion and transportation demand, often leads to delays and congestion at traditional toll booths. Electronic toll collection systems eliminate the need for vehicles to stop or slow down at toll plazas, ensuring seamless passage and reducing travel times for commuters. This efficiency enhances the throughput capacity of highways, accommodating the growing volume of traffic without significant delays. For instance, Interwest Safety Supply, LLC reported a significant increase in vehicle miles traveled on US roads in 2021 compared to 2020, highlighting the escalating demand for electronic toll collection systems to manage highway traffic effectively.
Key players in the electronic toll collection market are prioritizing the development of advanced solutions to enhance system efficiency. In January 2024, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) introduced the 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' initiative to streamline toll operations and improve user experience at toll plazas. This initiative discourages the use of a single FASTag for multiple vehicles and encourages FASTag customers to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. By implementing this initiative, NHAI aims to ensure smooth and comfortable rides for users of national highways, thus driving the adoption of electronic toll collection systems.
