Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/02/2018 -- Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is a type of surveillance method which uses optical character recognition technology to read the license plates on vehicles. ANPR systems comprises of hardware such as camera, frame gabber and other related equipment as well as software modules. ANPR systems can be used with existing closed-circuit television or road-rule enforcement cameras. The automatic number plate recognition systems identify the number plate on the vehicle, recognize the characters, convert them into digital data and store the license plate number in a database.

Rising Demand for Effective Traffic Control and Monitor Seals Europe's Dominance
By region, ANPR market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and Middle East & Africa. Among these regions, Europe held the leading share of 35% in the global market in 2016. The rising adoption of ANPR hardware and software components in traffic management, toll enforcement, and security and surveillance segments is expected to create lucrative prospects for the automatic number plate recognition market in Europe. Besides this, the regional market will benefit from the rising demand for superior security involving minute scanning of vehicles.
Other than Europe, North America will keep offering steady prospects for growth to the global automatic number plate recognition market. The region witnesses a high demand for technologically advanced security systems, which has created an environment supporting the market's expansion in North America. In addition, the market will benefit from the growing demand for effective toll collection. If achieved, this will help saving time spent on long queues and eliminate expenses incurred on the same. Given the scenario, more number of ANPR cameras and frame grabbers are likely to be installed in retailing and parcel posts across the region, in turn boosting the global automatic number plate recognition market.
