The efficiency and reliability of rail over road transport are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as poor maintenance of railway networks resulting in less sustainability and profitability may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The efficiency and reliability of rail over road transport are notably driving the market growth. By using rail transportation, fewer trucks are on the road, which results in less traffic and almost 30% lesser carbon emissions. Due to traffic, road freight in Europe is frequently delayed. Over 75% of road freight is delayed in Europe as a result of lost hours from traffic, which has an immediate effect on buyers and suppliers.
Rail provides a well-organized network for planning and management, including accurate timing of arrivals and departures and cutting-edge signaling systems. When compared to air freight and sea freight, rail only accounts for 25% of the total cost, making it significantly more economical than road freight. This is so because shipping a tonne of goods by rail requires less fuel than shipping a tonne of goods by road. Rail freight is not only dependable and economical but also environmentally friendly. When compared to trucks, rail freight releases 75% less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is a result of the use of alternative fuels like biodiesel and LNG. Thus, such factors will boost the market in Europe during the forecast period.
The use of big data analytics in European rail freight is an emerging trend in market growth. Big data analytics are being used by European freight rail operators to improve the effectiveness of their operations and their overall business performance. It can help reduce errors and inefficiencies while improving transparency in rail freight operations. Large amounts of data are typically gathered using software programs and on-product sensors. The data sources used include handheld field tablets, GPS units that record speed and the distance between trains, weather data that can be used to ensure train safety, maintenance logs, arrival time and location, and visual and acoustic sensors in brakes, rails, switches, and other hardware.
The use of train-flow planning software helps decrease the unneeded and premature stopping and braking of trains through the use of big data analytics. By doing so, you can save 15% to 20% on fuel and shorten transportation delays. Additionally, employing computerized maintenance management systems provides operators with knowledge regarding the state of wagons and containers, enabling them to schedule maintenance tasks and repairs at the appropriate time and prevent breakdowns and derailments. Hence, during the forecast period, such technological developments will fuel the expansion of the market in Europe.
Poor maintenance of railway networks resulting in less sustainability and profitability are major challenges impeding market growth. In order to provide customers with high-quality services and meet the specific needs of rail freight, railroad networks must continually be maintained and upgraded. These services primarily involve the prompt arrival and delivery of goods to clients. The development and improvement of the rail infrastructure had received more than USD 40 million in funding as of 2018. The lack of proper maintenance on rail freight lines, however, despite significant investments and strategies for infrastructure development, leads to speed restrictions and, occasionally, the closure of railway lines. This affects the performance of the entire supply chain network in terms of delays in volumes and hindrances in the transportation of goods from the point of production to the destination due to the closure of lines.
For instance, more than 70% of the freight railway lines in France are in poor condition. As a result, they are subject to speed restrictions, and approximately 20% of the railway lines are inoperable. This has an impact on how goods are transported from the point of production to their final destination. Hence, such factors will likely hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The freight cars segment was valued at USD 2,466.12 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The number of freight rail services operating in Eastern Europe will rise along with the expansion of manufacturing businesses in the region. Transporting bulky raw materials like steel to these manufacturing locations will require freight rails. Based on the cargo that needs to be transported, the kind of freight car is chosen. There are additional freight vehicles, such as covered hoppers, that are primarily employed for the delivery of coal, frac sand, and cement. Companies in Europe lease sliding wall freight cars, flat cars, and boxcars as their preferred modes of transportation. Furthermore, rising government spending on the construction of rail infrastructure is also anticipated to drive market expansion. Additionally, the freight car manufacturing companies place a lot of emphasis on redesigning the freight cars to increase the container's capacity, which will improve the effectiveness of transportation over the course of a single trip. Various end-user industries now have a greater need for new freight cars as a result. Additionally, the market is experiencing an increase in continuous technological advancements, which will ultimately fuel the expansion of the freight cars market within the railcar leasing market in Europe during the forecast period.
