TAXIMETERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Taximeters Market size is projected at USD 0.109billion in 2025, anticipated to climb toward USD 0.11 billion by 2026, and estimated to grow to almost USD 0.15 billion by 2034, reflecting a strong CAGR of 4.1% for the period spanning 2025 to 2034.

The term "taximeter" refers to a device fitted in some types of vehicles (such as taxis, auto-rickshaws, and limos) that is used to determine the fare by measuring the distance or amount of time spent traveling. Alternatively, wires connecting to an internal combustion engine or, in the case of hybrid vehicles, a battery pack will provide power to the equipment. The equipment may be permanently fixed on the dashboard of the vehicle. When the meter is not running at full capacity, the "calculator" button will normally display this information.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Disruptions to Hamper the Market

The COVID-19 pandemic badly affected the taximeters market due to supply chain disruptions and shortage in raw materials was also observed. Shortage of labor and strict protocols such as lockdowns and restrictions on movement created roadblocks, disruptions in end-use sectors of the product led to lower demand. Lower traveling by consumers in light of lockdowns led to lower demand for taxi services. These factors affected the market growth during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Urbanization to Boom the Market Demand

Growing urbanization and a rising demand for taxi services are the two main reasons behind the growth of the worldwide market for taximeters. The expanding population in emerging nations, notably China, is another element fueling this industry's rise. Taxis have evolved into a necessary form of transportation for individuals, allowing them to avoid wasting time on travel and instead help them save it. The usage of taxis is common in urban areas with ineffective public transportation systems. The market has expanded tremendously because to this.

• According to the International Road Transport Union (IRU, 2023), urban passenger trips through taxis increased by 18% across Asia-Pacific cities in the last two years, driving demand for advanced taximeters.

• According to the European Commission’s Mobility and Transport Report (2022), nearly 42% of taxi fleets in EU capitals have shifted toward digital meters with LED or LCD integration.

TAXIMETERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

By type, market is segmented into LED display and LCD display. The LED display segment will dominate the market in the coming years.

By Application

Based on applications, the market is classified into taxi and auto rickshaws. The taxi segment will lead the global share through forecast period.

DRIVING FACTORS

Environment-friendly Characteristic of LED Display to Accelerate the Market

The fare amount and distance traveled are shown as numbers on an electronic screen in a taximeter with an LED display. Superior visibility, improved client happiness, and increased durability and resistance are some of its characteristics. They are much preferred over other types of displays for taxis or auto rickshaws since they may be linked directly with the car batteries and don't need any outside power source. LED displays have many uses, but because they don't require an extra component (an alternator) and are also environmentally benign, they are more popular in vehicles that run on batteries, such as electric automobiles and hybrids.

• According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA, 2022), over 56% of the global population lives in urban areas, and this is projected to rise, significantly boosting taxi demand.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE, 2022), electric vehicles accounted for 9% of new vehicle sales, driving adoption of energy-efficient LED taximeters compatible with EVs.

Economical Attribute of LCD Display to Propel the Demand.

It is economical and environmentally friendly to use a taximeter with an LCD display. Electronic software that is embedded into it automatically determines the fare to be paid and the distance traveled. Drivers benefit from this function since it eliminates the need for them to manually compute fares. This decreases their reliance on cash or credit card payment methods, which improves safety during the night when light levels are low in taxi taxis.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Travel Restrictions and Uncertainty Around COVID-19 Could Hamper Market Trends

The expansion of public transportation services and people's preference for staying home or driving their own automobiles to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus are two of the main factors limiting the market's expansion. These factors and trends could limit the market potential to some extent in the forthcoming years. However, demand for cost-effective taxi services will work in favor of market growth in the future.

• According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2021), international tourist arrivals dropped by 74% during the pandemic, reducing the need for taxi services in major travel hubs.

• According to the International Labour Organization (ILO, 2021), employment in passenger transport fell by 23% in 2020, which negatively affected taximeter installations and demand.
