Hyperloop Train Market Report 2026

The hyperloop train market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.14 billion in 2025 to $4.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limitations of conventional rail speed, rising urban congestion, need for faster intercity travel, advancements in magnetic levitation research, early private sector hyperloop investments.

The hyperloop train market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.55 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government support for next generation transport, demand for low emission mobility, expansion of smart city infrastructure, advancements in propulsion systems, increasing feasibility pilot projects. Major trends in the forecast period include development of ultra high speed ground transport, integration of advanced vacuum tube infrastructure, focus on energy efficient long distance travel, expansion of passenger and cargo hyperloop concepts, rising public private collaboration for hyperloop projects.

The growing demand for high-speed travel is expected to drive the growth of the hyperloop train market. High-speed travel refers to transportation systems that operate significantly faster than traditional modes. Hyperloop trains operate within low-pressure tubes, which drastically reduce air resistance and drag on the moving capsules, allowing higher speeds with lower energy consumption. For instance, in January 2024, according to the National Railway Operator of China, by the end of 2023, China’s total high-speed rail network reached 45,000 km, including 2,776 km of new high-speed lines commissioned out of 3,637 km of total new tracks that year. Therefore, the growing demand for high-speed travel is fueling the hyperloop train market.

Major companies in the hyperloop train market are focusing on advanced technologies such as magnetic levitation to enhance speed, energy efficiency, and scalability. Magnetic levitation uses electromagnetic forces to lift and move vehicles without physical contact with the track, minimizing friction and enabling high-speed operation. For instance, in September 2025, Hardt Hyperloop, a Netherlands-based transportation technology company, completed a full-system test at the European Hyperloop Centre. The test, conducted in low-pressure tubes using magnetic levitation and lane-switching capabilities, demonstrated stable levitation, smooth guidance, and successful lane-switching at 85 km/h. This milestone reinforces the technical feasibility of energy-efficient, high-speed intercity hyperloop trains and supports future commercial deployment decisions.

In October 2023, Hardt Hyperloop B.V., a Netherlands-based hyperloop technology company, partnered with Zeleros Tecnologías, S.L. to accelerate the technical and commercial deployment of hyperloop systems. The partnership aims to demonstrate and implement interoperable hyperloop systems for efficient cross-border transport of passengers and goods. Zeleros Technologies, a Spain-based deep-tech company, develops scalable hyperloop systems and advanced e-mobility solutions that reduce infrastructure costs per kilometer.

Major companies operating in the hyperloop train market report include Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Hyperloop One, Virgin Hyperloop, TransPod Inc., Zeleros Hyperloop, Hardt Hyperloop, Nevomo, Swisspod Technologies, DGW Hyperloop, TUM Hyperloop, Tutr Tech, RAILBUS, Avishkar Hyperloop, Quintrans Hyperloop, Hyper Chariot, Hyperloop India, Delft Hyperloop, WARR Hyperloop, Hyper Poland.
