About 228,200 Americans had a license to operate a motor vehicle in the United States in 2020. That year, an estimated 36,680 people died on U.S. roads. Traffic-related fatalities per 100,000 licensed drivers stood at 17.01 in 2020.

Road safety rankings
The United States has among the highest rates of road fatalities per population worldwide. Possible contributing factors to deaths on the road can include speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and driving while fatigued. Traffic fatalities caused by speeding in the United States have declined since 2008, with less than 10,000 deaths recorded annually over recent years.

Automation for the nation
94 percent of severe automobile crashes are due to human error — but driving safety is taken much more seriously today than in the past, with roughly 90 percent of U.S. drivers wearing their seatbelts while driving in 2020. Over recent years, car manufacturers and developers have striven to reduce car crashes even further with partially and fully automated safety features such as forward collision warnings, lane departure warnings, rearview video systems, and automatic emergency braking. Self-driving vehicles are also set to take to the roads in the future, with car brands such as Toyota, Ford, and GM registering over 350 autonomous driving patents respectively in the United States.

The number of road traffic fatalities per one million inhabitants in the United States was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 18.5 deaths (+13.81 percent).

The number of traffic accident deaths in Germany has decreased considerably in the last decade, compared to the 1990s, and especially the 1960s and 1970s. Around 2,839 deaths were recorded in 2023. Recording these numbers takes on particular significance in the country that is home to the Autobahn and some of the most famous cars in the world. Staying safe The reduction of road traffic deaths in Germany may be due to a number of positive factors with long-term potential: progressive automotive engineering, increased regulation and legislation regarding road traffic and driving, as well as expanded driving safety resources and training. Another reason may simply be less people owning cars, and therefore less drivers being out on the road. Traffic accidents happen for various reasons, be it a bad combination of circumstances or the human factor. Certain choices and consumption habits significantly increase the risk of a car accident, a common example being driving after drinking. Into the future The addition of e-scooters to German city traffic in particular, alongside various vehicles, motorcycles and bikes in often already crowded areas, poses a new challenge for preventing accidents and fatalities. There were over 8,400 injuries recorded in 2023 which were the result of an e-scooter crash. That same year, 21 fatalities also occurred following an e-scooter accident. Increasing mobility and various transportation modes attached to it will definitely keep the issue of road safety on the map.

Road accidents have been a major cause for concern across the Indian subcontinent. In 2022 alone, the country reported nearly 169 thousand fatalities due to road accidents. Each year, about three to five percent of the country’s GDP was invested in road accidents. Notably, while India has about one percent of the world’s vehicle population, it also accounted for about six percent of the global road traffic incidents. Almost 70 percent of the accidents involved young Indians.

Cases and causes

Two-wheelers had the maximum involvement in fatal road accidents across the country in 2018. A major portion of the accidents that year occurred at T-junctions. Over speeding has been a cause for concern throughout the country regardless of day or night-time. Moreover, fast and risky maneuvers and illegal street races on roads and highways not designed for the purpose created significant trouble for the police. Over 65 percent of the accidents occurred on straight roads. Additionally, state highways had a share of about 25 percent of the total road accidents in 2018.

Future scenario

Roughly around 17 accident-related deaths occur across India every hour. Fewer cops and empty roads at night, and sometimes even during the day seem to enable motorists to do away with the traffic rules. However, efforts were made to reduce these discrepancies. The police had equipped themselves with night vision speed guns to identify the culprits. Over speeding fine was increased in the amendment of the Motor Vehicles Act as well. The road network has played a crucial role in India’s economic development and the government is likely to continue to invest resources in making road safety a vital component of everyday commute.

An overall decline in the number of road deaths in Russia was observed from 2007, when the highest volume of road fatalities was recorded countrywide in the given timeframe. The temporary growth of five percent between 2010 and 2012 was followed by a significant drop in the number of incidences over the following years. Namely, the count of road deaths in the country reduced nearly twofold by 2020 relative to the 2012 figures, measuring at 16,152 cases in the last observed period.

Mortality rate and causes of death in Russia   

Mortality rate has been gradually declining since 2000 in Russia, yet it remained greater than the rates measured prior to the 1990s. Even though road accidents were not the major cause of fatalities in the country, roughly 183 thousand residents were reported being injured in road traffic incidents in 2020. The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak at the beginning of 2020 ranked Russia as one of the most affected worldwide. The coronavirus-related mortality rate, nonetheless, was measured significantly lower than in most countries with a somewhat similar number of disease cases.

General outlook   

Despite the fact that road fatalities have been in decline in Russia, the country was listed second by road mortality worldwide after Georgia in 2017. The most significant decline in road death rates among the European countries was recorded in Norway in the same year.

Market Dynamics of Automotive eCall Market

Key Drivers for Automotive eCall Market

Increasing Number of Road Accidents Deaths Caused by Delays in Medical Assistance to Increase the Demand Globally

The primary drivers for the automotive eCall market expansion in car sales and production worldwide include rising urbanization, changing demographics, rising living standards, and rising disposable income. There is a strong demand for automotive eCall systems worldwide as a result of growing consumer worries about safety and a propensity for more advanced safety and security features in cars brought on by growing traffic congestion and a high rate of traffic accidents. In addition, automakers are putting these systems in their cars because passenger and driver safety concerns are growing and because they help lower traffic fatalities and quickly tend to injured people's needs. The rising efforts of European automakers to incorporate this technology and features into their vehicles for other markets are raising consumer and driver awareness of the technology. Because of its many additional benefits, it is also anticipated that this will become common across several nations in the upcoming years. This can be attributable to the increasing global deployment of vehicle eCall systems.

Growing Concern for Sustainability Has Motivated Businesses to Develop Energy-Efficient Equipment to Propel Market Growth

An increase in traffic congestion has been caused by the fast increase in the number of vehicles on the road worldwide. Due to the millions of individuals who die in traffic accidents every year all over the world, the fatality rate has also climbed. Governments throughout the world have responded to this predicament by enacting strict laws and guidelines aimed at lowering the accident rate and improving the security of all passengers and cars. Emergency call systems are being installed in high-performance cars as well as entry-level and mid-sized cars, which account for the majority of the automotive industry, by automakers in response to government demands for vehicular safety. In addition, governments are spending a lot of money encouraging the use of cutting-edge technologies to create safety measures for cars and assist the auto sector so that emergency response services can operate effectively and quickly. For instance, the UAE government mandated in 2018 that 2021 vehicle models have the eCall Emergency System installed. Therefore, during the forecast period, growing government initiatives centered on strict road safety laws are anticipated to propel the expansion of the automotive eCall market..
