Executive Summary
The Bullet Train Market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 6.27% from 2022-2031 owing to rising number of developments globally.The speed of high-speed rail is greater than that of a regular train, and it moves more quickly than regular rail. These trains can cover a great distance more quickly and cheaply because they run on standard gauge tracks. This is primarily responsible for the rise in demand for bullet trains. It is expected that increased infrastructure facilities and demand for high-speed bullet trains will reduce traffic congestion and travel times while enabling swift and comfortable transportation.
The demand for safe, secure, and efficient transportation is rising, and the use of public transportation is increasing as a means of reducing traffic jams. These and other factors are driving the growth of the bullet train market. For instance, in October 2022, The CRRC has introduced the world's fastest public land transport system, a 600 km/h maglev train. The high-speed linear transportation system, which reaches speeds of 600 km/h, is a"non-contact" high-speed rail vehicle. Adopts a"rail hold" structure in which two rows of curved"arms""hold" the rail. With electrification, the entire train is suspended from the rails by strong magnetic force, realizing non-contact support, guidance, and operation. The system is not only fast, but also having high security, large capacity, intelligence, and convenience. It is a faster, safer, and more eco-friendly vehicle. The lack of technological infrastructure, skilled labor, and high capital requirements, however, are expected to impede the expansion of the rolling stock market. More opportunities for the growth of the bullet train market are anticipated to arise from increased bullet train development and testing, improved rail infrastructure, particularly in developing nations, and increased industrial and mining activity.
The bullet train market is segmented into speed, propulsion, component, and region. By speed, the market is categorized into 200-299 km/h, 300-399 km/h, 400-499 km/h, and above 500 km/h. Among these segments 200-299 km/h segment is dominating the market in 2021, and 300-399 km/h segment expected to grow with the significant CAGR during the forecast period. By propulsion, it is segregated into diesel, electric, and dual power. By component, the market is divided into axle, wheelset, converter, transformer, traction motor, and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America (U.S.), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and MEA (Middle East and Africa).
The key players profiled in the study include ABB Ltd., Alstom SA, Siemens AG, Thales Group, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A., CRRC Corporation Limited, Hitachi Ltd., Kawasaki Rail Car, Inc., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., and Caterpillar Inc., and others. The players in the market have been actively engaged in the adoption of various strategies such as have adopted partnerships, investments, and product launches to remain competitive and gain advantage over the competitors in the market. For instance, in October 2022, ABB Ltd. signed an agreement with Europe's railway network including UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Austria. this agreement was worth $170 million to power more than 300 trains. Similarly, in September 2022, ABB was invested $13 million in its installation products division Iberville manufacturing facility in Canada to expand its manufacturing capabilities and increases the footprints in the global market. Moreover, in October 2021, The German railroad corporation Deutsche Bahn has awarded a sizable contract to ABB for the modernization of its first generation InterCity Express (ICE 1) high-speed train series. The 76 high-speed locomotives will be upgraded to ABB's extremely energy efficient IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) traction converters as part of a refurbishing program. In addition, October 2022, Siemens Mobility inaugurated the new rail service center in Novara, Italy. The Rail Service Center of Novara extends over 2300 square meters indoors and about 6300 square meters outdoors for a total of 9000, has 6 tracks with 10 workstations that can be used simultaneously, and boasts all the most cutting-edge tools for preventive and corrective maintenance of locomotives. This was made possible by an investment of about 6 million euros in infrastructure, services, and skills. thus, such types of initiatives taken by the market players are anticipated to drive the bullet train market growth during the forecast period.
