Market Insights – Railway Braking System Market

Provision Environment Standards for Environment Safety

The railway transportation is majorly considered as a secure, safe, and economical mode of transportation when compared with road transportation. Pertaining to the factors, such as high precision and capability to cover maximum geographic area, the demand for trains among travelers is growing. Various systems are used in rails to ensure the safety of train, freight, and passengers; braking systems is one of these systems. Moreover, government projects—such as Dubai Route 2020 Metro—for building new rail infrastructure and increasing investments to expand train connectivity, are contributing toward the growth of the railway sector. There is a rise in demand of railways for freight transport. With increasing volume of packages and goods transported through railways, the number of trains is increasing. In 2019, the rail freight transport in Europe was calculated at almost 400 billion ton-kilometers. This aspect of increasing freight transport and rail passengers is boosting the growth of the railway sector and motivating governments of countries to invest heavily on rail projects.

Type Segment Insights

Based on type, the pneumatic brake is expected to be the leading segment in the global railway braking system market during the forecast period. Pneumatic brakes were designed for metros or subways; however, with continuous technological developments, the pneumatic braking systems are getting familiar among specialized freight operations and main line passenger railways.
