Demand for ANPR Systems in smart parking is increasing, which supports the expansion of the global ANPR systems market. 

Automatic number plate systems enable fast traffic control in parking lots, the automation of access control systems with a ticket-free system and new, effective law enforcement methods. ANPR cameras are mounted higher to ensure a wider field of view of the entire parking lot, allowing for capturing the vehicle's license plate number as it enters or exits the building. ANPR cameras are integrated with vehicle parking management systems, which record the authorized vehicle's entry and exit timing information and the parking spot and owner's information. The information about the vehicle and the person responsible who damaged the parked car in the parking lot can be found in the system records if any car in the parking is damaged by another car. Their adoption is expanding for smart parking to address these issues, fueling the market for ANPR Systems. Additionally, retail park security, tollbooth records, intelligent traffic management, journey time analysis and smart parking management are among the applications in which ANPR can be utilized extensively.
