The rise in demand for solutions to increase rail safety and expansion of rail network are likely to remain key to track geometry measurement system market trends.

Track Geometry Measurement System Market Analysis

Multiple regulations and standards govern the railway industry, and in order to comply with them, a track geometry measurement system is required. The growing demand for safety and security in railway transportation, as well as the expansion of railway networks and metro lines, are key drivers of industry growth. Numerous mishaps and accidents involving trains have raised global concerns, encouraging governments to digitize the mode of transportation to ensure a safer journey. Furthermore, increased demand for smart technologies to maintain track operational efficiency is driving track geometry measurement system market growth.

Track Geometry Measurement System Market Overview

In the rail industry, the track geometry measurement system is the most crucial technique for evaluating track safety and maintenance scheduling. Routinely measuring and evaluating track geometry helps to avoid track-related derailments, which can cause disastrous damage. Track geometry conditions are a major cause of vehicle/track interaction derailments, such as spreading gage (gauge), wheel climb, and rail rollover derailments. Track geometry conditions can also cause broken rails, broken fasteners, and thermal misalignment derailments. The track geometry measurement system provides the critical capability of ensuring that the track geometry condition is within acceptable limits for safe operations.

Track Geometry Measurement System Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in the demand for track geometry measurement system for high-speed rail and mass transit rail to Favor Market

The global track geometry measurement system market is projected to expand rapidly due to increased demand for high-speed rail. High-speed rail developments have steadily progressed, boosting the global track geometry measurement system market. One of the primary drivers of the track geometry measurement system market is the presence of a wide range of rail industry specifications and legislation, as well as the need to incorporate track geometry measurement solutions to comply with these standards. Other factors driving the track geometry measurement system market include the introduction of track geometry systems for track maintenance and the expansion of the metro and high-speed train networks.

Rising rail infrastructure

The global demand for transport is increasing at a faster rate. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2019, passenger and freight activities are expected to grow twice by 2050. According to The World Bank Group, railways are one of the efficient ways to transport passengers and freights. Due to such growing transport activities, The World Bank Group supports the development of the rail industry to make it more efficient. It supports the developing country governments in reforming the railway infrastructure and incorporating railways into a country’s transportation network. In addition, the governments of developing countries are also investing to boost their railway industry. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, for the rail infrastructure and development, the country will invest around US$ 715.41 billion by 2030. Such investments and initiatives by the government and associations are boosting the growth of the rail industry. Thus, the growing rail infrastructure generates the demand for solutions to accurately evaluate the railroad track geometry in a variety of operational conditions.
