In a new report, EasyPark Group has compiled the five most important and influencing trends for the mobility sector that will shape the upcoming year. From automation to charging of electric vehicles.

One of the more significant trends during 2024 was cities adoption of policies that regulates cars and their parking. From extending paid parking zones in order to redistribute parking to less congested areas and off-street options to regulations in terms of emissions. As this approach aims to manage space more efficiently and reduce carbon dioxide, we’ll see more cities adopt similar strategies.

AI has further accelerated automation and will continue to do so. Meaning increased possibility to implement technologies that reduce friction for drivers. By embracing these technological advancements, cities can create more efficient, user-friendly, and sustainable urban environments, such as barrier-free parking or automatic number plate recognition.

The concept of the “15-minute city” will gain traction and create continued interest around expansion of electric vehicles and the infrastructure for charging. This also aligns with cities overall contribution to sustainability goals.

Furthermore, the Open Market model is going to be important in 2025. It encourages a competitive market that drives innovation and provides drivers and users with flexibility and choice. At the same time cities and municipalities benefit from lower costs from implementation and operation.

“As we look towards 2025, the parking industry is poised for significant transformation. The integration of advanced technologies, the expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure, and the adoption of the open market model will impact urban mobility. At EasyPark Group, we are committed to leading this change by providing innovative and sustainable parking solutions that enhance the quality of life in our cities - so that we together make cities more livable", says Cameron Clayton, CEO at EasyPark Group.
