The market is segmented on the basis of system and application.
• By System
On the basis of system, the transport electronic (e)-ticket market is segmented into smart card and smartphone. The smart card segment dominated the market with the largest market revenue share in 2024, owing to its widespread usage in well-established public transport systems. Smart cards are widely preferred for their convenience, reusability, and quick validation during boarding, significantly reducing wait times in high-volume transit networks. Several metropolitan rail and bus networks continue to promote smart cards as a core component of their fare management systems due to their ability to store data securely and integrate with offline access points.
The smartphone segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, driven by increasing smartphone penetration and demand for contactless payment methods. Smartphone-based e-tickets enable users to purchase and store tickets digitally, offering convenience and enhanced user experience. Many transport authorities are also integrating journey planning, real-time tracking, and digital payments within mobile apps, further accelerating the adoption of smartphone-based ticketing.
• By Application
On the basis of application, the transport electronic (e)-ticket market is segmented into railways and metros, buses, and personal vehicles. The railways and metros segment held the largest revenue share in 2024 due to high daily ridership volumes and early adoption of digital fare collection technologies in urban transit systems. E-ticketing in railways and metros ensures faster throughput, improves operational efficiency, and supports multimodal connectivity for commuters in dense urban regions.
The buses segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by increasing government investments in public transportation infrastructure and the push for digital ticketing across municipal bus services. Smartphone and QR-code-based ticketing systems are increasingly being used in intra-city and intercity bus services to eliminate the need for physical tickets and reduce cash transactions.
