The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to high-speed rail expansion, sustainable transport, electrification, freight rail expansion, regulatory compliance. Major trends in the forecast period include electrification and lightweighting, advanced materials, additive manufacturing, digitalization and connectivity, collaboration and partnerships.

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.

Government initiatives are playing a crucial role in driving the growth of the train and component market. These initiatives typically involve funding programs aimed at addressing specific challenges within the rail sector, using resources such as taxes, grants, and donations to support the research and development of new train technologies and components. For example, in September 2023, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced more than $1.4 billion in funding for 70 rail improvement projects across 35 states. This funding is intended to enhance rail safety, strengthen supply chains, and improve passenger rail services. The projects funded under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program represent a significant investment, focusing on modernizing infrastructure, reducing emissions, and improving operational efficiency.

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.

Major companies in the train and component market are concentrating on developing innovative facilities, such as components manufacturing plants, to deliver reliable services to customers. A components manufacturing facility is a plant that produces individual parts or components used in the assembly of finished products. For example, Siemens Mobility, a transport company based in Germany, invested $220 million in a state-of-the-art rail manufacturing facility in Lexington, North Carolina, set to begin operations in 2024. This advanced facility will incorporate cutting-edge technologies like robotic welding, 3D printing, and Virtual Reality welder training, all while achieving carbon neutrality to align with Siemens' sustainability objectives.
