Railway Fleet Management Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growth in adoption of wireless technology in railway industry is notably driving the railway fleet management market growth, although factors such as slow adoption rate among small fleet owners may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the railway fleet management industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Railway Fleet Management Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global railway fleet management market growth is the growth in adoption of wireless technology in the railway industry. Factors such as rising demand for Wi-Fi, the need for flexible train re-configurations, and the ever-growing demand for increasing productivity are driving the adoption of industrial ethernet. Ethernet connectivity facilitates the delivery of real-time updates on arrival as well as connection information. Ethernet also enables railway operators to collect data across a range of onboard and centralized systems. This data is crucial for monitoring trains and provides productivity gains in different areas, including greater fuel efficiency. As fleet managers and operators increasingly adopt advanced technologies to attract customers, they need to handle and coordinate an increasing number of systems, technologies, third-party integrations, and employees. Thus, there is a growing need for standard solutions which can manage the full fleet at optimum, which will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Railway Fleet Management Market Trend
Growing adoption of cloud computing for streamlining fleet management operations is one of the key railway fleet management market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The cloud model promotes data availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, namely on-demand self-service, broad network access, pooling of resources, increased elasticity, and measured services. The adoption of cloud computing provides an array of benefits to railway fleet owners and operators. With the growing evolution in cloud computing, the railway industry has also started leveraging the benefits by deploying cloud-based solutions. For instance, in 2017, Norway's railway regulator decided to move IT into the cloud based on the government advice and made similar efforts to be implemented across the country since then.
Key Railway Fleet Management Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global railway fleet management market growth is the slow adoption rate among small fleet owners. Owing to the lack of awareness, limited operation scale, and financial limitations, small-scale operators find it difficult to deploy fleet management, and it is not feasible as an advanced fleet management system might be a waste of resources. Moreover, high capital requirements and a rise in operational costs after the implementation adds to the apprehensions of small-scale operators. Small operators are unaware of the benefits associated with the implementation of advanced technologies. They often face issues with uncertainty about the performance and operational impact of new technologies. This might include the uncertainty about the effectiveness of a comparatively smaller fleet, payback time, acceptance by the workforce (especially drivers), and reliability and maintenance requirements of new technologies. Such factors may hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
This railway fleet management market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
