Train And Components Global Market Report 2024

The train and components market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $227.02 billion in 2023 to $246.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including economic conditions, urbanization, government investments, and environmental concerns.

The train and components market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $330.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of high-speed rail networks, a focus on sustainable transportation solutions, the electrification of rail systems, the expansion of freight rail services, and adherence to regulatory requirements. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of electrification and lightweight materials, the utilization of advanced materials, the incorporation of additive manufacturing, digitalization and connectivity in rail operations, as well as an emphasis on collaboration and partnerships within the industry.

Anticipated economic growth and the rapidly expanding urban population are set to drive increased demand for new trains and components during the forecast period. Urbanization fosters a heightened preference for luxurious goods among the populace. Globally, roughly 60% of urban areas remain undeveloped, presenting significant opportunities, particularly in Asian countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, which are gaining prominence in export-oriented manufacturing. The World Bank projects a growth of 250 million in the urban population of South Asia by 2030. This swift urbanization is poised to significantly contribute to the growth of the train and component manufacturing markets.

The primary categories within the train and components market include parts and accessories for railway vehicles, locomotives, wagons, and other types of rolling stock. Locomotives are comprised of multiple diesel-electric locomotives linked together to provide power for a train, which can be composed of one or more locomotives. Various types of trains, such as light rail, bullet trains, and high-speed rail, are utilized for the transportation of both passengers and freight.

Government initiatives are expected to play a pivotal role in propelling the train and component market forward. Government initiatives encompass plans and actions aimed at addressing specific issues or challenges and can be funded through various sources, including taxes, grants, and donations. In the context of train and components, government initiatives facilitate research and development in new train technologies and components. For example, in July 2021, the UK's Department for Transport increased its allocation to support freight carriage by rail and water routes to approximately $24.3 million (£20 million), marking a 28% increase from 2020. Hence, government initiatives are instrumental in driving the growth of the train and component market.

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant restraining effect on the train and component manufacturing market in 2020 due to disrupted supply chains caused by trade restrictions and reduced consumption resulting from global government-imposed lockdowns. COVID-19, an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, and breathing difficulties, first emerged in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, and subsequently spread worldwide. Transportation manufacturers rely heavily on the global supply of parts and components, and as governments-imposed restrictions on cross-border movement of goods, production was hindered due to a shortage of necessary parts. Additionally, new automobile sales sharply declined due to reduced consumer demand amid widespread lockdowns. While this impact extended into 2021, it is expected that the train and component manufacturing market will recover over the forecast period, considering that this setback resulted from a black swan event and not from any inherent or fundamental market weaknesses or global economic issues.

Locomotive parts manufacturers are increasingly adopting nose suspension drivers as they help mitigate shock loads resulting from the tensile coupling between the motor shaft and the axle. A nose suspension drive is a mechanism employed in electric railcars, distributing half of the traction motor's weight through a metal wheel axle, while the remainder is supported by a bogie frame. Integration of an electric motor with a nose-mounted traction motor effectively reduces the shock and vibrations arising from track irregularities. Leading companies engaged in the manufacture of such systems include WINDHOFF Bahn-und Anlagentechnik GmbH, Afcons Infrastructure Ltd., and Balfour Beatty Rail Ltd.

Prominent firms operating in the train and component market are directing their efforts toward establishing innovative facilities, such as a components manufacturing facility, to provide reliable services to their clientele. A components manufacturing facility is essentially a factory specializing in producing individual parts or components essential for the assembly of finished products. For example, in November 2021, Alstom, a renowned French rolling stock manufacturer, inaugurated a state-of-the-art component manufacturing facility. This facility, spanning 15 acres and boasting an installed capacity of 2.1 million hours, is tailored to enhance industrial productivity while producing parts for numerous prestigious national and international projects. Consequently, this new facility will contribute to greater diversity and complexity in output.
