Public Transportation Market Size Expected To Rise US$ 409.71 Billion By 2031, Rising Demand Due To Surge In Congestion Mitigation And Economic Benefits


(MENAFN- Evertise Digital) -< />
The Public Transportation Market , according to the SNS Insider report, reached a size of USD 231.44 Billion in 2023. Analysts anticipate a phenomenal climb to USD 409.71 Billion by 2031, reflecting a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% throughout the forecast period (2024-2031).

Growing Cities and UN Population Projections Signal Strong Demand

The United Nations projects a global population of 9.7 billion by 2050, a demographic shift that will significantly impact public transportation demand. Coupled with this is the relentless march of urbanization, with the World Bank predicting nearly 70% of the global population residing in cities by 2050. This translates to a surge in ridership as people increasingly rely on efficient public transportation for daily commutes and errands. Market research firms foresee this translating into a robust public transportation market, brimming with opportunities for investment in infrastructure upgrades, innovative technologies, and improved user experiences.

Furthermore, governments worldwide are actively encouraging public transportation use through fare reductions and free services for specific demographics. For instance, Detroit and Miami implemented initiatives in 2022 and 2021, respectively, offering free public transportation and door-to-door pick-up and drop-off services for people with disabilities and elderly passengers. It's noteworthy that in the United States, the public transportation share for commuting has risen slightly, with 3.1% of workers utilizing public transit in 2022 compared to 2.5% in 2021.
