The smart railways market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $26.1 billion in 2023 to $28.64 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increased urbanization and population growth, a rise in government investments and initiatives, aging railway infrastructure, heightened environmental concerns and emissions regulations, and an increase in passenger demand for seamless connectivity.
The smart railways market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The forecasted growth can be linked to several factors, notably the ongoing digital transformation initiatives in the rail sector, a transition towards Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) models, government policies advocating for sustainable transportation solutions, and an increasing emphasis on data-driven decision-making in railway operations. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of IoT sensors and devices, the adoption of AI technologies for predictive analytics, the implementation of digital twin technologies, the incorporation of 5G connectivity, a heightened focus on cybersecurity, and the integration of railway services into multimodal transportation ecosystems.
The smart railways market is anticipated to experience growth driven by an increasing demand for transportation options that are both environmentally friendly and efficient. These options aim to minimize negative environmental impacts like air and noise pollution while maximizing energy usage and resource efficiency. The surge in demand for eco-friendly and efficient transportation is fueled by heightened awareness of environmental issues, government regulations promoting sustainability, and evolving consumer preferences favoring greener travel modes. Smart railway systems leverage technology to optimize operations, reduce emissions and energy consumption, improve transportation efficiency, and provide sustainable mobility alternatives. For example, Eurostat reported in March 2024 that the quantity of electric-powered railcars in France increased to 7,113, up from 7,081 in 2021 and 6,908 in 2020. Similarly, Sweden saw a rise to 2,889 electric railcars in 2022, marking a growth rate of 25.99% compared to 2,291 in 2021. Thus, the growing demand for environmentally friendly and efficient transportation options is fueling the expansion of the smart railways market.
Key players in the smart railways market are concentrating on the development of innovative mobility solutions, such as smart electric trains, to gain a competitive advantage. Smart electric trains, modern trains powered by electricity and equipped with advanced technologies, aim to enhance performance, efficiency, and passenger experience. For instance, Siemens Mobility GmbH launched the Mireo Smart Electric Train in November 2023. This electric version of the Mireo model features spacious seating for 214 passengers, room for 21 bicycles, and impressive performance metrics, including a maximum speed of 160 km/h and rapid acceleration of up to 0.96 m/s^2. The Mireo Smart is equipped with advanced passenger information and security monitoring systems, offering a practical and cost-effective solution for rail operators while being compatible with existing Mireo and Desiro HC trains.
In January 2021, Alstom SA acquired Bombardier Inc. for an undisclosed sum, enhancing its ability to provide comprehensive rail solutions across the entire rail value chain. This acquisition strengthened Alstom's product lines, including rolling stock, signaling, and infrastructure, enabling the company to offer interconnected mobility solutions to mobility operators and network providers. Bombardier Transportation, a Germany-based smart rail transport manufacturer, brings interconnected mobility solutions to the rail industry.
