The Global Automatic Number Plate Recognition System Market registered a valuation of US$ 3.1 billion in 2022. Between 2022 and 2023, a robust 8.2% CAGR is likely to accelerate the market. This should culminate in a US$ 6.8 billion for the market in 2032.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) leverages optical character recognition. The purpose of this technology is to generate vehicle location data on the basis of registration plate readings. A variety of cameras such as road-rule enforcement cameras and closed-circuit television are used to make the technology work.
The use of ANPR is predominant for law enforcement, where it can be used to check the licensing or registration status of a vehicle. The technology is also helpful for highways agencies, which use it to catalog traffic movements and collect electronic toll.
ANPR dates back to the late 20th century, when it was invented by Britain’s Police Scientific Development Branch. However, it took until the 1990s for ANPR’s adoption to be widespread. In 2005, ANPR’s prominent role in law enforcement became public knowledge after the technology facilitated the solving of a murder case in the United Kingdom’s Bradford.
ANPR software requires the following algorithms for license plate identification:
Persistence Market Research (PMR) believes that there will be plenty of lucrative opportunities for players in the market for automatic number plate recognition systems. However, PMR expects certain challenges to restrain market acceleration as well, such as:

From 2017 to 2021, the market for automatic number plate recognition systems exhibited a positive 8.8% CAGR. In comparison, the 8.2% CAGR predicted by PMR between 2022 and 2032 reflects a marginal decrease in the rate of market acceleration. In 2021, the market reached a value of US$ 2.8 billion.
China is set to dominate the global market in the years ahead in terms of acceleration as it is likely to register a 9.1% CAGR. This should spur the market to a US$ 582.1 million in 2032.
The rate of acceleration is also set to remain high for the South Korea market. PMR expects the South Korea market to propel to a US$ 274.3 million valuation owing to 8.6% CAGR from 2022 to 2032.
The United Kingdom and the United States are also likely to feature prominently and contribute to global market expansion. PMR believes the value of the United Kingdom market will surpass US$ 315.8 million in 2033. The United States market should register a valuation of US$ 2.1 billion in 2033.
All in all, the global market is set to generate an absolute dollar opportunity amounting to around US$ 3.7 billion from 2023 to 2033. It’s safe to say that the future looks promising for both prominent and emerging market participants.
North America is expected to be a significant market for automatic number plate recognition systems market. The region’s market size was around US$ 1.13 billion in 2021 and US$ 1.24 billion in 2022. It is likely to expand to a worth of US$ 2.73 billion in 2032.
As per the international association of Chiefs of Police, seven in ten crimes happen in a vehicle. In July 2022, Flock Safety, a reputed manufacturer of ANPR systems in the United States pointed out that 2000 communities across the country use its ANPR technology.
The manufacturer’s ANPR systems help in solving around 600 to 700 crimes each day which is around 3% of all reported crimes in the United States. Several ANPR systems have also been adopted across private premises and they are also playing their part in helping law enforcement agencies solve crimes.
Why is the United States Likely to Cement Itself as a Burgeoning Market for Automatic Number Plate Recognition Systems?
PMR expects the United States market for automatic number plate recognition systems to accelerate at a healthy 7.0% CAGR from 2022 to 2032. This should result in a US$ 2.1 billion market valuation in 2032. Between 2022 and 2032, the United States market should generate an absolute dollar opportunity worth US$ 1.1 billion.
For instance, in June 2020, Tuxen & Associates announced the launch of the ANPR Lumo from Nedap. The advanced ANPR system featured generational advances in optical character recognition technology that promised unparalleled accuracy.
How are Automatic Number Plate Recognition System Sales Expected to Augment in the United Kingdom?
Automatic number plate recognition system sales across the United Kingdom should result in a US$ 315.8 million in 2032. The market is also likely to generate an absolute dollar opportunity amounting US$ 160.1 million. Between 2017 and 2021, the United Kingdom market exhibited a healthy 7.6% CAGR. From 2022 to 2032, a steady 7.3% CAGR should keep the country’s market ticking.
For instance, In May 2021, Conduent Transportation, a United States based ANPR systems manufacturer and transportation solutions provider announced that it had signed a mammoth deal with Highways England. The aim of the deal is to manage and implement charging solutions and provide ANPR systems for the Dartford to Thurrock crossing on the river Thames east of London.
What is the Outlook for the China Market for Automatic Number Plate Recognition Systems?
The China market for automatic number plate recognition systems market should surpass a US$ 582.1 million in 2033. Between 2022 and 2032, a positive 9.1% CAGR should accelerate the market and generate an absolute dollar opportunity worth US$ 338.1 million.
For instance, In June 2021, HikVision, a China based manufacturer of video camera surveillance systems acquired Mexico based security systems distributor Syscom. This will help HikVision distribute its ANPR systems in Mexico.
Why is the Automatic Number Plate Recognition System Demand Set to Soar in Japan?
PMR expects a US$ 498.1 million for the Japan market for automatic number plate recognition systems in 2032. From 2022 to 2032, the market is likely to generate a US$ 255.4 million absolute dollar opportunity. Between 2022 and 2032, a steady 7.0% CAGR should augment demand for and sales of automatic number plate recognition systems in the country.
For instance, In June 2022, NEC Corporation, a Japan based electronics manufacturer and IT solutions provider announced that its Indian subsidiary NEC India has signed an agreement to build Silvassa smart city project in India.
As a part of the project, the company promised to provide ANPR systems, adaptive traffic control systems, 5 smart parking systems and 400 cameras across the city for surveillance.
Which Component of Automatic Number Plate Recognition Systems is Projected to Witness Significant Expansion?
ANPR software is the top component which is expected to witness significant expansion in the years ahead. A robust CAGR of 8.7% surged this segment from 2017 to 2021. Between 2022 and 2032, the segment should register further acceleration owing to a likely 8.1% CAGR.
