Overview of the rail track components market
Technavio’s market research analysts have identified the rising demand for rail logistics as one of the primary factors that will trigger the growth of the rail track components market in the coming years. Several manufacturers and vendors are inclining toward rail transportation over road transportation and are an ideal choice for several business segments. Road transportation face several hurdles like infrastructure deficiencies, unstable fuel prices, and the driver shortage. Moreover, government policies that are focused on restricting the working hours of the drivers and limiting the movement of heavy trucks, are also responsible for the increasing demand for rail transportation. Rail transportation has several advantages such as reliability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. These factors are increasing the demand for freight trains over road transportation and are expected to contribute to the growth of railway lines in the next five years. Our market research analysts estimate that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR close to 10% by 2022.
The regenerative braking energy is one of the key trends in the railway components market. Electric railways are considered as fast and quiet means of transport as compared with diesel powered trains. The moving train loses its energy when a brake is applied in electric trains. The lost energy can be captured with ease, but redistribution of that energy is a tough task. To solve this problem, several types of research are being conducted to effectively capture and redistribute the lost energy during braking by utilizing smart grids.
