Description Jump to:
The rail composites market is projected to grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2023 to USD 2.4 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Almost all composites used in the rail industry are manufactured using thermosetting resin due to their high resistance to high temperature. Phenolic resin obtained by the reaction of phenols and aldehydes. Phenolic resins have good fire, smoke, and toxic (FST) resistant properties; hence, used widely in the rail applications. Phenolic resin is used in the manufacturing of ceilings, floors, bulkheads, and stairs among other applications.

Filament winding manufacturing process is expected to register highest CAGR in rail composites market during forecasted period.

Filament winding is an automated open molding process in which a rotating mandrel is used as a mold to produce an inner surface and a laminate surface on the outside of the product. This process offers high fiber loading and produces high strength-to-weight ratio laminates. It is a quick and economical method for manufacturing rail composites. This process is automated and used to make engineered structures. It produces hollow or circular components.

‘‘In terms of value, interior components application accounted for the largest share of the overall rail composites market.’’
Composites get widely used in manufacturing ducts, seats, panels, and many other interior and exterior components in the rail industry. Headrest back panels, seats, luggage bins can be produced from glass fiber composites. Composite modules, such as trays, grabs handles, and seat holders can be manufactured from natural fiber composites, which can give them an aesthetic look and feel, apart from being low cost. Cooling fan blades, such as ventilator fan blades, cooling fan with butt blades, cooling ventilators with bar blades can be manufactured with composites.

During the forecast period, the rail composites market in Europe region is projected to register second-highest CAGR.

Europe is projected to be the second-fastest-growing region the rail composites market during forecasted years. Most of the European government owned rail companies provides high-speed rail (HSR) service. In many European countries inter-country HSR network is operational. The EU commission is planning to allocate some part of community funds for the development of HSR within the trans-Europe network. This expansion plan of HSR network is estimated to increasing the demand for composites in rail applications.

About the Rail Composite Market

The Rail Composite market is a sector of the rail industry that focuses on the production and use of composite materials for rail applications. Composite materials are a combination of two or more materials with different physical or chemical properties, which when combined, create a material with improved properties. These materials are used in the construction of rail vehicles, infrastructure, and components, and offer a range of benefits such as improved strength, durability, and weight reduction. The Rail Composite market is driven by the need for lighter, more efficient, and cost-effective rail solutions. This has led to increased investment in research and development, as well as the adoption of new technologies and materials. Some of the major companies in the Rail Composite market include Toray Industries, Hexcel Corporation, Gurit Holding AG, Owens Corning, and Teijin Limited. Show Less Read more
