A unique source of information on the rail market
A study commissioned by UNIFE, the Association of the European Rail Industry and conducted by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants
This second world market survey of the rail supply industry shows that the industry has grown tremendously over the past two years. New railway projects around the world plus upgrading/expanding existing railway lines caused orders in virtually all market segments to surge.
This robust growth will continue for the foreseeable future. Overall trends favour the industry: politicians, business leaders and the public are realising the importance of rail as a sustainable means of transport. Rail transport is an attractive solution to environmental issues such as carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. What’s more, the rapid growth of fuel prices around the world will further promote the intermodal shift towards rail transport. This will trigger additional investments in infrastructure, rolling stock, rail control and services.
Over the past few decades, rail suppliers have taken the right action in response to the changing market environment. They have developed state-of-the-art products and services that meet the mobility needs of growing economies, both in passenger and cargo transport. Innovations make rail transport more attractive in all areas and affect the whole value chain of rail transport – from ticket sales to rolling stock and infrastructure maintenance.
This unique study provides information about the structure and segmentation of the rail supply industry. It also looks at geographic distribution among segments, current size of the total market and accessible market segments by region. Finally, the study delivers a growth forecast for the next nine years. Hopefully this study will provide new insights for railway operators, suppliers and sub-suppliers to enable them to seize the potential within this growing market. The comprehensive and concise nature of the analysis also makes it a valuable source for managers, political decision-makers, investors and financial analysts.
