Increasing demand for track geometry measurement systems (TGMS) from high-speed railways and mass transit railways drives market growth

The TGMS market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.00% from 2019 to 2024, to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2024 from USD 2.8 billion in 2019. Presence of various standards and regulations in the railway industry and the need for track geometry measurement systems to meet those standards are among the key driving factors for the TGMS market. Adopting track geometry measurement systems for track maintenance and growing network of metro lines and high-speed railway lines are among the other factors fueling the growth of the TGMS market. However, the lack of required infrastructure can hinder the growth of the TGMS market.

The market for no contact track geometry measurement systems to witness significant growth during the forecast period

The TGMS market, by operation type, is segmented into no contact and contact based track geometry measurement systems. The no contact based TGMS market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The major benefit of this operation type is that it is suitable for high and low speed. Also, it ensures high accuracy with the help of advanced technologies such as imaging technologies and optical laser sensors. Therefore, this type of operation method is gaining popularity for track geometry measurement.

Gauge segment to hold largest share of TGMS market in 2019

In this report, the TGMS market, by measurement type, has been segmented into the gauge, twist, cant and cant deficiency, vertical profile, curvature, alignment, dynamic cross-level, dipped joints, and others. Among these, the gauge segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market throughout the forecast period. Gauge is one of the critical parameters of track geometry measurement. The wheelsets of the rails should be compatible with the track gauge, else it could result in fatal accidents due to the derailment.

APAC to hold the largest share of TGMS market from 2019 to 2024

In terms of market size, APAC is expected to dominate the TGMS market during the forecast period as it is likely to witness significant growth in the said market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for track geometry measurement systems, especially no contact track geometry measurement systems, from the high-speed railways and mass transit railways is among the key factors accelerating the growth of the market in APAC.
