Smart Parking IoT

In mid-sized and large cities, over 20% of cars are constantly searching for parking spaces, and it takes an average of 20 minutes for a driver to find a parking spot. For instance, Europe faces the deficit of 400,000 parking spaces, while China faces an estimated shortage of 80 million parking spots. This growing challenge is intensified by the high rate of vehicle ownership and a shortage of available parking spots, which results in extended search times, higher urban congestion, time wastage, and increased emissions. IoT adoption within parking and curb management has become a logical response to the above challenges. 1NCE works with 1000+ customers from the Smart City sector, and we are eager to cooperate with new Smart Parking and Curb Management projects worldwide. 

The IoT Market of Smart Parking

According to Berg Insight, by 2025, this number is expected to surge to 2.5 million smart ground parking sensors installed worldwide. Europe held the lion's share of these installed sensors, constituting approximately 55%, while North America and other parts of the world accounted for about 188,000 and 241,000 sensors, respectively. At the close of 2020, the top players in this market were Nedap, Smart Parking, and Urbiotica.
