The U.S. Parking Management Market was valued at approximately USD 5.38 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 8.27 billion by 2030, expanding at a healthy CAGR of 6.1%, according to the latest analysis by Grand View Research. This growth is driven by increasing urban populations, rising vehicle ownership, and a surge in smart infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving traffic flow, reducing hassles, and enhancing revenue collection for municipalities and private operators.

Technology and Smart Solutions Reshape Parking Management

The market continues to shift from traditional parking systems to smart parking management solutions that include advanced hardware and software. Demand is growing for automated payment systems, sensor-based occupancy detection, mobile parking apps, and cloud-based data analytics platforms that optimize space utilization and reduce congestion. Integration with smart city frameworks and connected vehicle technologies is further accelerating adoption, especially in metropolitan regions.

Parking operators are increasingly leveraging IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and machine learning tools to provide real-time parking availability, dynamic pricing, and predictive analytics, all designed to improve the parking experience for drivers and streamline operations for facility owners.

On-Street and Off-Street Parking Continue to Evolve

Both on-street and off-street parking segments are experiencing upgrades. On-street parking systems are being equipped with smart sensors and mobile payment integration to reduce enforcement costs and increase turnover. Off-street commercial parking facilities, such as airports, malls, and office complexes, are investing in automated guidance systems and contactless payment options to enhance convenience and safety.

The emergence of autonomous vehicles and connected transportation ecosystems is expected to reshape long-term parking infrastructure requirements, prompting stakeholders in the U.S. market to future-proof their systems with scalable, technology-agnostic platforms.

Regional Trends Within the United States

Major metropolitan areas including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco are at the forefront of smart parking implementation due to acute parking challenges and high traffic density. Public–private partnerships (PPPs) and supportive regulatory frameworks are enabling investment in advanced parking management solutions.

Smaller cities and suburban regions are also adopting smart parking strategies, driven by improved affordability of IoT solutions and growing demand for digital mobility services.
