Global Smart Railways Market Dynamics-

Increasing endeavours by government to develop smart cities, rising adoption of IoT, growing advent of automation and wireless connectivity, rapid urbanization and development of PIS and vehicle control system, are the major factors for driving the growth of Global Smart Railways Market. Based on the statistics, IoT is growing at a pace of 127 new devices every second being connected to internet, in 2018. As of January 2018, there were around 1000 automated metro lines in operation.

Moreover, rapid advancements in technology, increasing proposals of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, rising adoption of cloud-based services, growing application of analytics in building railway infrastructure to suffice volume optimization, time-table management, and predictive maintenance are some of the other major factors driving the growth of smart railways market.

However, there is a huge expense being incurred while deploying smart technologies on board for smart railways. Additionally, there is a lack of technical expertise and absence of a proper interconnected IT infrastructure, which are some of the factors that may hamper the market growth in future.

There is an increasing concern over saving environment and papers, by adopting digitalization. Smart railways would aid in getting rid of reckless use of papers by a system of integrated ticketing services. Moreover, researches are being conducted to more efficiently incorporate technologies like BigData and AI into the concept of smart cities and railways and leverage upon their benefits. This is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of smart railways market.

North America is expected to remain a dominant region in the Global Smart Railways Market.

North America is the dominant region in the market with the largest share of the global smart Railways market, due to the countries being early adopters of technologies like AI, BigData, IoT, wireless and 5G. Moreover, there is a prevalent urbanization and a large number of smart cities in the region. Developed countries like USA and Canada utilize advance transport control system effectively, also there is an advanced PIS which is expected for the dominance of North America region. As per statistics, more than 60% of US cities have invested hugely in deploying IoT to transform themselves into smart cities.

Whereas Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a fastest rate and exhibit a spurring growth in the Smart Railways market. The countries in APAC region are extensively investing in making digitized systems, technological adoptions, large scope for development of smart cities in developing economies like India and China. China is also seeing an upsurge in establishing PPP business model to aid developments and joint efforts of government and private firms. China Railway Corporation, in 2017, set up a smart railway and station forum at China Railway International Equipment Exhibition to discuss over the development of smart stations in the country. Even banks in China have come together in a PPP partnership to fund USD 28 billion in developing smart railways. As per government statistics, under ‘Smart Cities Mission’ in India, cities received a funding of around INR 500 crore to facilitate the smart operations in the country.
