Driver: Government initiatives for smart railways
Increasing urbanization across the globe is resulting in the evolution of smart cities. Governments around the world are undertaking various smart city initiatives to provide better transportation infrastructure and speeding-up operational activities in public transportation services. For instance, in March 2020, the Government of India has proposed to develop 100 smart cities in the next few years. The Government of Singapore is implementing digital technology in transportation to accomplish its Smart Nation vision. Transportation is considered one of the most important pillars of a country’s economic development, and hence, these smart city initiatives are expected to drive market growth.
The deployment of smart railway systems requires joint efforts from various stakeholders such as telecom operators, infrastructure providers, service providers, manufacturers, public sectors, and user groups. Government authorities are adopting Public Private Partnership (PPP) models which enable private sector companies participate in smart railways initiatives of governments for deploying and financing transportation projects.
Restraint: High development cost
One of the key restraints in railway telematics market is the high installation cost. The telematics system also requires high maintenance and data collection platforms, which further increases the expenditure. In the traditional method, the expenses are compensated either through tax payments on fuel or rubber or by budget allocations from the national income. An Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system comprises equipment and products based on advanced technologies, making the system complex and expensive. The system offers a solution for traffic congestion issues; however, it simultaneously increases the cost of the tolling process, which ultimately increases the toll price. Moreover, in the AFC system, a large, centralized Traffic Management Center (TMC) is required to be co-located with transportation managers, system operators, dispatchers, and response agencies. All these factors lead to significant initial investments.
The initial cost involved in deploying smart railway solutions is high and requires significant initial investments to set up field-level devices, replace aging infrastructure, arrange for transmission networks between end users, and manage new and existing systems within premises. High operational and maintenance costs post deployment are also a significant concern for railway authorities. Moreover, the limited budgets allocated for the railways are a restraining factor in the deployment of advanced railway technologies and solutions by governments as well as private players. Hence, the high initial cost of deploying smart railway solutions and components is expected to hamper market growth for railway telematics in the coming years.
Opportunity: Increasing need for railway telematics
The need for telematics in freight and cargo transportation by rail has increased over the years. Population is increasing annually every year all over the world. Transportation infrastructure is a significant challenge for many countries across the world. Countries which are in the developmental stage lag in terms of efficient freight transportation services. The global rail industry is undergoing continuous changes in terms of technology for higher efficiency and safety.
Several countries have realized that the development of railway infrastructure is one of the important factors driving economic development. A number of countries are investing significantly in railway infrastructure. Regions such as Europe and North America are advanced as against the other regions and are therefore able to provide advanced telematics solutions for the high interoperability of rail cars. The North American freight rail network runs almost 140,000 route miles annually and accounts for 27.9% of the total freight movement as of 2020 in the country as per the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration. In November 2020, US operators, namely, Norfolk Southern, Genesee, Wyoming, and Watco joined the manufacturers, TrinityRail and GATX Corp as part of their joint venture for the purpose of accelerating the adoption of GPS location and other telematics solutions across the North American freight wagon fleet. As far as the European region is concerned, mandates by governments regarding smart railcars have given a boost to the railway telematics market in that region.
Challenge: Data privacy and security concerns
Railway telematics solutions are an integration of different technology elements such as hardware, software, and network elements, which can be complex to configure at times. The integration of different hardware devices along with railway software over legacy system infrastructure may become complex. Legacy systems are also not compatible with new generation smart devices due to protocol issues. Hence, traditional, and legacy systems are not capable enough to communicate efficiently with technologically advanced systems. These integration issues are projected to be one of the major challenges in the development of railway projects.
One of the major problems in implementing connected freight transport is integrating it with information technology. The implementation of several information technologies involves a process of interrelated stages. The stage of integrating several information technologies with smart transportation systems is critical. The connected transportation ecosystem integrates different technology elements such as hardware, software, and network elements. Moreover, the deployment of these elements involves more than one vendor. The implementation of updated technologies over the existing transportation architecture becomes complex. Additionally, due to the lack of open interface and protocol issues, smart devices and sensors are not able to integrate with the existing system architecture. The major difficulty of the smart transportation system is the synthesis and integration of all the data collected from these sensors. Thus, deploying a multi-sensor data fusion technology which collates all recorded signals to create a more informed environment for traffic control, and remote sensing is a major challenge. Hence, traditional legacy systems are not capable of communicating efficiently with technologically advanced systems. Upgrading these systems is expected to require high investments. These complexities are expected to hinder market growth in the coming years
Hopper railcars account for a major share of the market during the forecast period
Due to the new GSM and GPS modules, a significant cost reduction could be achieved. Interfaces for complementing sensors such as shock detection, digital/analog inputs/outputs, etc. are integrated. In addition, based on the analysis of user requirements, the development of a reliable load sensing technology for freight cars has been launched. This is a result of the fact that today most of the freight cars in operation in the railways do not use the full load capacity as cost-effective measurement of the load does not exist, especially during the filling-up process such as in the area of bulk freight. These advanced solutions are expected to support the growth of the railway telematics market.
The APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing railway telematics market, by 2026
Increasing penetration of advanced technologies, increasing GDPs of countries, steady growth, and emerging economies.

Increasing awareness about driver safety and accident prevention, presence of leading OEM players, growing freight transportation and logistics industries, advent of the 4G LTE technology, and the adoption of smart railcars in North America and Europe due to the availability of embedded OEM telematics solutions are leading to market growth. The logistics sectors in India and China are on the cusp of disruption. Robust economic growth and technology improvements have led to significant developments. Despite significant country-specific trends and nuances, the underlying themes of economic growth, digital disruption and changing customer preferences prevail. These powerful themes are expected to shape the future of the logistics industry over the next few years. Based on reliable on-line telematics data, dispatchers will be able to inform their customers about changes in transport schedules earlier than is possible presently, increasing reliability and satisfying stakeholders, thus driving growth.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the railway telematics market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with the industry experts across value chains through primary research. The top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation processes were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual reports/presentations, press releases, industry association publications [for example, publications of railway telematics OEMs, International Railway Journal (IRJ), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), American Public Transportation Association (APTA), Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), country-level railway associations and trade organizations, and the US Department of Transportation (DOT)], railway telematics magazine articles, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, trade websites, government organizations websites, and technical articles have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global railway telematics market.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the global market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from both, the demand-side (rolling stock manufacturers, railway operators) and supply-side (railway telematics solution vendors, software providers, and component manufacturers) across four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Approximately 52% and 48% of primary interviews have been conducted from the demand and supply sides, respectively. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.
After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject-matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.
