Route Optimization Software Market Future Prospects
The route optimization software market will generate an estimated revenue of USD 5,773.8 million in 2024, which is expected to witness a CAGR of 15.0% during 2024–2030, to reach USD 13,359.1 million by 2030. This is due to the increasing population, growing logistics demand, the development of complex infrastructure, and technological advancements.
The software offers features such as mapping engines, optimization algorithms, constraint handling, a user-friendly interface, and integration capabilities, which help process the input and provide the most-efficient route.
The ongoing rapid urbanization and infrastructure development due to the increasing global population are resulting in congestion, which is responsible for delays and inefficiencies in the transportation of passengers and goods. Route optimization software reduces travel time, improves the overall efficiency of the operation, and optimizes the delivery schedule, by determining the fastest, shortest, and, overall, the most-efficient routes.
According, to Our World in Data statistics, more than half of the global population currently lives in urban areas. In 2022, the urban population reached 4.52 billion, while the rural population was 3.43 billion. This trend is expected to continue due to the ongoing economic development, which is increasingly strain transportation systems.
