Smart Railways Market by Offering (Solutions (Rail Asset Management and Maintenance, Operation and Control, Communication and Networking, Security and Safety, Rail Analytics) and Services (Professional and Managed)) Region - Global Forecast to 2027

MarketsandMarkets projects the smart railways market to grow from USD 28.9billion in 2022 to USD 43.0billion by 2027 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.3% during the forecast period. The requirement for urban connectivity is predicted to expand along with the integration of IoT-based solutions and the increased focus on emissions reduction, which will all contribute to the growth of the smart railway system. Providing appropriate transit capacity for rising volumes of products and people necessitates the introduction of smart solutions. Truly integrated and intermodal transport systems are anticipated to be made possible by trends including machine-to-machine technology, using embedded sensors, increasing computing power, and incorporating Big Data and the Internet of Things.

By offering, the solutions segment to account for a higher market share during the forecast period

A pivotal role is played by solutions in handling all railway operations-related activities that include entry, marking, handling, processing, and transit of goods from the supplier end to the manufacturing site and eventually to the consumer. The growing need to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and minimize costs and productivity is driving the growth of the solutions segment. The solutions autonomously support the technician and other personnel in reducing traffic congestion, efficiently signaling over traffic, and managing ticket collection and monitoring security systems leading to a higher degree of competence and reduced expenses.

By services, the professional service segment to hold the largest market size in 2022

Professional services offer support services to clients involved in technical projects. These services include consulting, system integration and deployment, training, support, and maintenance. Professional services are growing at a steady pace in the smart railway sector; with the rapid digitization and adoption rates of these cutting-edge technologies, to increase efficiency and reduce expenses, personnel operating these machineries require support from external technological experts. As the adoption of technology-based solutions is steadily growing, the demand for smart railways services will grow proportionally.

By region, Asia Pacific to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing region in terms of the growth of the smart railways market, with the growing adoption of upcoming and state-of-the-art technologies, larger investments in digitization, and the growth in the Gross Domestic Product of the APAC countries. In order to boost engagement in public-private partnership initiatives for the smart railway system, several Chinese banks have partnered together. Japan is also attempting to incorporate smart solutions in upcoming projects and revamps, such as leveraging artificial intelligence to provide a customized concierge service for travelers. The high population growth rate in the region has also fueled the need to transform and expand the existing rail infrastructure.
