According to Straits Research the global automated parking system market size was valued at $2.54 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from $2.93 billion in 2026 to $9.02 billion by 2034, registering a CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period (2026–2034).
Automated parking systems are used to construct multi-story parking systems to increase the number of parking spaces while decreasing the quantity of land required for parking lots. APS typically arranges automobiles vertically to conserve space. The designs of these exceptional systems allow automobiles to be transported from the entrance to their parking spot without the driver's presence. Automated parking system advantages include space savings. This is especially true for automated parking systems where employees are not required to place vehicles.
Several smart city projects have incorporated automated parking systems to satisfy the needs of residents and enhance their quality of life, thereby producing smarter outcomes. Therefore, the global government focuses on creating smart cities and making strategic investments. For example, the U.S. government announced a USD 160 million investment in a smart cities research initiative. The automated parking system is embedded in smart cities to provide functions such as mobile payment, reservation of parking spaces, and others, allowing drivers to park and pay without any hassles, fueling the market growth.
Technological advances such as payment systems and IoT will stimulate market expansion over the forecast period. Sensor developments are anticipated to diminish their size and increase precision, rendering them cost-effective, efficient, and compatible. Drivers can reduce time in traffic and increase more time going places if they have access to real-time parking availability information. The market is anticipated to benefit from the increasing smartphone penetration and the availability of parking mobile applications.
Additionally, the prevalence of mobile wallets and electronic payment systems is growing online and among smartphone users. Mobile parking applications allow users to reserve parking spaces and pay with mobile currencies. As consumers, governments, and businesses become more aware of the benefits of Internet-connecting inanimate devices, automated parking systems are incorporating more IoT technology.
Europe is the most significant global automated parking system market shareholder and is estimated to exhibit a CAGR of 14.5% over the forecast period. The transport sector is regarded as a strategic sector in the European economy, where transportation services are essential to the region's GDP growth and overall employment creation. The European Commission collaborates with its member states, industry stakeholders, and public authorities to develop a standardized solution for integrating automated transportation systems into the existing infrastructure. As part of the Digital Single Market Strategy of the European Commission, it seeks to increase the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to manage the transport network for passengers and businesses effectively. In addition, European nations anticipate integrating automated parking systems into their transportation industries. For instance, ITS (U.K.) has estimated that the ITS initiatives in the country would cost approximately USD 2.2 billion.
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 17.7% over the forecast period. The increasing focus of governments across the Asia-Pacific to improve parking management and reduce traffic congestion and air pollution is anticipated to fuel the automated parking system market throughout the forecast period. In addition, the Chinese government has found it difficult to manage traffic, particularly in major cities. In these cities, vehicles searching for parking spaces frequently cause traffic congestion and contribute to the country's high air pollution levels. Therefore, automated parking system adoption is anticipated to rise in China. The rising number of traffic jams in India's main cities is also anticipated to increase the demand for better parking facilities, necessitating a smart solution.
