Dublin, April 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Railway System Market by System Type, Transit Type, Application & Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global railway system market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2%, from USD 26.0 billion in 2019 to USD 35.3 billion by 2025
Rising income levels have increased the demand for personal mobility and led to a rise in road traffic in major cities across the globe, which has increased the demand for public transportation such as metros and high-speed trains. The increasing demand for these rolling stocks will fuel the growth of the railway system market. However, refurbishment of existing rolling stock and its capital-intensive nature are inhibiting the growth of the market.
Rolling stock refers to vehicles that move on a railway and includes powered as well as unpowered vehicles such as locomotives, coaches, and wagons. Railway system is considered an essential component or system that helps in the running of rolling stock and provides secondary benefits with regards to safety, comfort, and convenience. The primary goal of the railway system is to power rolling stock while the secondary benefits include air conditioning, train safety system, and train information system.
Due to increasing urbanization, the population in cities has increased at a rapid pace. Currently, urban population accounts for more than 54% of the total population. According to WHO's projection, the urban population is expected to reach 66% of the total population by 2050. According to a report by the United Nations, around 90% of urbanization will be concentrated in Asia and Africa. The increasing urbanization is expected to drive the growth of rapid transit systems such as metro, light rail, electric multiple units, and diesel multiple units. In addition, many countries are increasingly investing in metros to reduce traffic on the roads.
Developing countries such as India, China, Egypt, and Brazil are aggressively investing in the development of metro infrastructure. Currently, the metro systems are operational in 10 cities in India while about 25 new projects are in the pipeline. The Indian government has allocated a fund of USD 2.21 billion for the 2018-2019 metro budget. China plans to invest USD 11.45 billion for the development of urban railway projects in Changchun. These metros are equipped with advanced systems such as train information system, train safety system, and HVAC system. Thus, the increasing number of metro projects will fuel the market for railway systems.
Some of the major players in the railway system market are CRRC (China), Bombardier (Canada), Alstom (France), ABB (Switzerland), and Siemens (Germany). These players have long-term supply contracts with leading service operators. These companies have adopted the strategies of new product developments, acquisitions, agreements, collaborations, expansions, joint ventures, partnerships, and supply contracts to gain traction in the railway system market.
