Market Overview:
Wheel flange lubricators are devices that apply a lubricant to the wheel flanges of railway rolling stock to reduce friction and wear. Wheel flange lubricators can be either single line or double line solutions. A single line solution applies the lubricant to one side of the wheel, while a double line solution applies it to both sides. Wheel flange lubricators are used in applications such as trains, metros, and tramways. The global wheel flange lubricator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% from 2018-2030. The growth of this market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for public transportation globally.
Product Definition:
A wheel flange lubricator is a device used to apply a lubricant to the wheel flange of a railway car or locomotive. The purpose of the lubricant is to reduce friction and wear between the wheel flange and the rail, prolonging the life of both components. Wheel flange lubricators are typically mounted on or near track switches, where they can be easily accessed by trains travelling in either direction.
Single Line Solution:
Single line solution is a device that provides lubrication to the wheel flange. It works as an interface between the lubricant and the wheel, which helps in reducing friction and wear & tear of wheels. The single line solution plays a significant role in increasing productivity by decreasing downtime during maintenance activities.
The global market for wheel flange lubricators was estimated at USD 1,849 million in 2016.
Double Line Solution:
Double line solution is a two-in-one oil that can be used as motor oil and gear lube. It has high viscosity index which makes it ideal for lubricating heavy duty applications such as wheel flange lubricators.
It also helps to reduce the friction between rotating parts, thus increasing the efficiency of machinery thereby reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Application Insights:
Based on the application, the market is segmented into train, metro, tramway and others. The train application segment dominated the overall industry in terms of revenue share in 2017. This can be attributed to a high demand for smooth movement of trains along rail tracks and increased safety requirements for passengers. In addition, increasing passenger traffic due to rapid urbanization is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
The metro application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising infrastructure spending by governments across various regions coupled with growing population densities resulting in increased demand for public transport systems that provide faster journey times at higher capacities than conventional buses or trains do today¢â‚¬â„¢s cities require more efficient transportation systems capable of moving larger numbers of people quickly through fewer stops providing greater reliability.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global wheel flange lubricators market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of prominent manufacturers coupled with a high level of industrialization in countries, such as China and India, is anticipated to drive regional growth. In addition, increasing investments in infrastructure development are also likely to contribute toward industry growth.
The demand for metro rail systems across several Asia Pacific countries including Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and others has been growing significantly owing to rising population along with increased travel requirements. This trend is projected to have a positive impact on industry expansion over the next eight years or so.
Europe was estimated at USD X billion in 2017 owing to high demand from industries operating at higher speeds as well as those requiring longer distances between changes of machinery parts such as trains/subway cars/ferry boats etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive industry for wheel flange lubricators as a preventive maintenance measure to improve equipment reliability and extend component life.
- Growing popularity of automatic wheel flange lubricators as they offer significant labor savings over manual lubrication methods.
- Proliferation of online sales channels that provide easy access to wheel flange lubricators at competitive prices, boosting adoption among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using wheel flange lubricators among fleet operators, leading to an increase in demand for these products in the commercial vehicle market segment.
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of more efficient and durable wheel flange lubricators, fueling market growth over the forecast period
