The global rolling stock market is anticipated to register a CAGR of about 4% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).
The rapid urbanization, traffic congestion, growing environmental concern, increasing technological advancements, are expected to fuel the demand of the rolling stocks in the forecast period.

This market is witnessing the active participation of governments to develop this cheapest and safest means of transportation more comfortable.
It's been decades after the introduction of trains for transportation, and now autonomous trains and ultra-high-speed trains are the future of railway transportation along with other new technologies to support it. For instance, in European Rail Traffic Management System (ECTS) Level 3 the trackside equipment will not be there and train-location and integrity does not have to rely on trackside equipment (signals, track circuits or axle counters) rather handled by train and Radio Block Center (RBC), although it is currently still under standardization. Whereas ECTS Level 2 is still in its test phase in some of the developing countries.
The European Union (EU) has the largest electrified rail length in the world also one of the safest railway's network in the world with around 218,000 km of active rail network. EU commission is committed to make their rail network more convenient for passengers by introducing various laws and along with that inviting private industry players to advance the current network. For instance, EU commission has a target of moving 30% of freight travelled by distance more than 300km for other modes of transport (rail or water), by 2030.
