Railway Sliding Bearing Market Analysis

The railway sliding bearing market is anticipated to register a CAGR of about 6%, during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).

  • Railway fares are on the lower side compared to other modes of transport, so more people are opting for rail travel than other modes of transport. Due to increased CO2 emissions and atmospheric pollutants, people are moving towards public transport instead of private vehicles. In developed nations like UK also Wales experienced 11-year high growth in railway passenger numbers. Railway stations in Wales experienced a rise of about 40% passengers in year 2018-19. Cardiff Central was the busiest station in the country, with 14,204,684 entries and exits, a rise of more than 1.2 million compared with the previous year. The Welsh government had to introduce additional trains to accommodate the passengers.
  • With the growing population and increasing use of public transport in countries like China and India, Asia- pacific region is expected to be the dominating market during the forecast period. For instance, the Chinese government has invested approximately USD 148 billion to deploy more metros in the cities of Baotou, Urumqi, and Xiamen. Similar kind of efforts are observed in other Asian countries such as India, Japan, and Thailand. These projects will drive the demand of sliding bearings as new engines and bogies will be required for these projects.

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Railway Sliding Bearing Market according to our research experts:

Government Spending to Upgrade Railway Network will be a Growth Driver

Governments from all around the world are spending a lot of money on upgrading the existing rail infrastructure. For instance, according to NITI Aayog, the capital expenditure by Indian government on railways grew from USD 7.4 billion in 2018 to USD 10 billion in 2019 (40% growth). By the end of 2025, 15 new cities in India are expected to have metro trains. Currently, there are 10 cities in India with metro rail service. According to international union of Railways, China dominates the construction of railway tracks, as China is developing its high-speed rail network on a very rapid scale.

Railway Sliding Bearing Market Key Trends

Asia-pacific is Expected to be the Global Leader

With very high government spending in the sector and growing railway network in China and India, Asia- pacific is expected to be the largest market for railway sliding bearing. The India government is looking at privatization of railways. With introduction of new trains such as the Tejas express, there will be new train bogies and engine requirements in the country which will drive the demand for sliding bearings. It is expected that during the forecast period around 150 private trains will be deployed in India which will have around 2400 bogies, these bogies and engines will drive the demand for sliding bearings.
