Europe Car Parking Market Analysis
The car parking market in Europe is expected to reach a CAGR of 10.05% during the forecast period (2022-2027). Due to the appeal for services, labor, leisure, commerce, and culture, urban areas are constantly developing, posing issues for towns and individuals. Smart cities are seeking improved sustainable mobility solutions to reduce pollution, reduce traffic congestion by assigning public and private spaces, reduce time spent circling vehicles looking for parking spaces, and increase overall accessibility and city centre appeal.
- It is expected to see significant growth in prices/parking charges across all European countries. The willingness of car users to pay for parking is increasing significantly - while the average duration of use is decreasing. In the past, parking charges have increased at a rate well above the inflation rate. For example, in Germany, parking charges for short-stay car parks increased by an average of 2.9 % in five years. In the UK, they increased by 3.6 %, and in Norway by 4.6%.
- The market also benefits from technological improvements and collaborations between local governments and technology suppliers. For example, in September 2019, Car & Away, the peer-to-peer car rental company and pioneer of the airport-based car-sharing economy, revealed that it had raised GBP 3.5 million in capital from private investors in the United Kingdom. This investment is expected to help the company expand in the United Kingdom and, further, it's objective to build the world's smartest peer-to-peer (P2P) car-sharing community.
- The European car parking business has been harmed as a result of the lockdown imposed due to the spread of the coronavirus. Reduced demand is due to a sharp reduction in traffic congestion and a decrease in car sales, among other factors. However, after the lockdown is lifted, demand is projected to rise, and vehicle sales are expected to increase due to concerns about public transportation safety. Post-pandemic car parking management will likely grow, focusing more on physical safety, information security, and people's perceived well-being.
