The driverless shuttle minibus market in Asia Pacific, excluding China, is witnessing robust expansion, posting a CAGR of nearly 18.6%. Countries like Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are at the forefront, leveraging dense urban populations and advanced telecom networks to pilot autonomous transit solutions. Governments are aggressively funding autonomous mobility as part of broader smart city frameworks. A key driver is the aging population in regions like Japan, where autonomous shuttles are viewed as essential for future mobility in rural and suburban zones. However, disparities in regulatory maturity across ASEAN countries act as a growth barrier. Still, the region presents rich opportunities for mobility partnerships, especially as global and regional OEMs team up with tech startups to localize solutions. Trends show increasing integration with AI-based traffic management systems, and demand is shifting toward customized vehicles for airports, campuses, and theme parks.
