Market Overview:
The global rail infrastructure market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for rapid transit vehicles and locomotives across the globe. Additionally, the increasing investment in rail network and maintenance are also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as high installation cost and lack of standardization may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. The global rail infrastructure market can be segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it can be divided into locomotive, rapid transit vehicle (RTV), and railcar segments. The locomotive segment is projected to hold a major share in terms of revenue in 2018 owing to its growing demand for heavy haulage applications across various regions worldwide.
Product Definition:
Rail infrastructure is a term used in transport planning and engineering to refer to the fixed installations necessary for the operation of railways. This includes track, signalling, bridges and tunnels. Rail infrastructure is usually owned and managed by railway companies or government agencies.
Locomotive:
Locomotive is a vehicle used for the transportation of passengers or goods. It has four wheels, a source of power (electricity or steam), and at least one rail track. The term “locomotive” is often used interchangeably with “train” but technically refers to a self-propelled railway car without any form of propulsion other than its own weight (the force generated by moving vehicles).
Rapid Transit Vehicle:
Rapid transit vehicle (RTV) is a type of rail vehicle used for passenger transportation in urban areas. It is smaller and lighter than a conventional train, but can go faster because of its higher capacity. The average speed of an RTV is usually more than 45 km/h (28 mi/h).
Application Insights:
The rail network application segment dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The expansion of existing rail networks, particularly in developing countries including China, India and Brazil is expected to drive demand for global rails infrastructure. In addition, new projects including Trans-Canada Highway Rail Expansion (TCHRE) are likely to further propel growth over the next eight years.
The maintenance investment segment accounted for a share of 29% in 2017 owing to increasing investments by governments across regions on improving railway infrastructures such as track & stations for passenger comfort & safety along with an efficient operation of railways. For instance, according to a recent study conducted by Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), UK; around USD 20 billion needs to be invested annually between 2019 and 2050 on renewing or replacing old infrastructure components globally which if matched with government funding would represent excellent opportunities for private sector companies providing maintenance services under public-private partnerships model.
Regional Analysis:
Europe dominated the global rail infrastructure market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of major players, technological advancements, high investments in new projects are some of the key factors responsible for this dominance. Europe has also been severely affected by terrorism owing to which governments have restricted access to certain areas thus affecting tourism which is a major industry in these regions.
Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing with increasing number of passengers opting for train travel as compared other modes due to lack of time or space especially during holiday seasons.
The Middle East & Africa region was valued at USD X billion in 2016.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing urbanization and industrialization: The global population is increasingly moving towards cities, which is leading to an increase in the demand for public transportation. This, in turn, is fueling the growth of the rail infrastructure market.
- Government initiatives for development of rail infrastructure: Governments around the world are investing in rail infrastructure projects to improve connectivity and spur economic growth. This is providing a boost to the rail infrastructure market.
- Rise in passenger traffic: The number of passengers travelling by trains is increasing rapidly due to factors such as rising income levels and improved connectivity. This is resulting in an increase in demand for new or upgraded railway lines, signaling systems, and other related equipment, thereby propelling the growth of the rail infrastructure market.
