[124 Pages Report] The railway cybersecurity market is estimated to be USD 6.0 billion in 2019 and projected to reach USD 12.6 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 9.8%. Increase in use of IoT and connectivity in railway ecosystem is projected to drive the global market.
The infrastructural segment is estimated to be the largest in this market. The implementation of railway traffic management systems in urban transit solutions such as metros and high-speed trains is a major driving factor for this market. Rail traffic management systems allow centralized supervision and traffic control of the entire rail network. The entire rail operations can be regularized from a central control system. This central administration system uses real-time data over high-speed communication links across trains and rail infrastructures to automate traffic. Rail traffic management involves signaling, traffic control, routing, and train scheduling. All these systems are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Hence, growth of these systems will boost the railway cybersecurity.
The services segment is expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period. The railway cybersecurity services market is segmented into risk and threat assessment, support and maintenance, design and implementation, and others. These services enhance the security portfolio of rail infrastructure and safeguard the end points, networks, and cloud environment from unauthorized access, exploitation, and data loss. The companies that do not have in-house capabilities for detection and remediation against threats outsource their cybersecurity work to expert Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). Managed security services help safeguard enterprises by providing network assessment, targeted scanning and reporting, unlimited report generation, security controls and remediation, vulnerability analysis, live monitoring, and other such tasks.
The network security segment is estimated to have the largest market size during the forecast period. The growth in the network segment is associated with the rise in the number of security breaches targeting networks where hackers try to gain access to sensitive data. As the vulnerabilities have become more complex and sophisticated, the demand for network security products is expected to increase for countering threats.
The key players in the railway cybersecurity market are Thales (France), Alstom (France), Siemens (Germany), Bombardier (Canada), Nokia Networks (Finland), General Electric (Wabtec)(US), Hitachi (Japan), IBM (US), Cisco (US), United Technologies (Rockwell Collins), and Huawei (China). Thales is anticipated to be a dominant player in the global market. Thales adopted the strategies of new product development, partnership, and mergers & acquisitions to retain its leading position in this market. The company strengthened its product portfolio and increased its global presence by building customer relationships. It has also increased its presence in emerging markets such as India.

The study involves 3 main activities to estimate the current size of the railway cybersecurity market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, such as the use of different systems in various types and security types. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market analysis with industry experts across value chains through primary research. A top-down approach was employed to estimate the complete market size of different segments considered in this study.
The secondary sources referred in this research study include railway industry organizations such as the Association of the European Rail Industry (UNIFE), American Railway Association (ARA); corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); and trade, business, and automotive associations. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which is further validated by multiple industry experts.
Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring an understanding of the scenario of this market through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with experts from both, demand- (in terms of component supply, country-level government associations, and trade associations) and supply-side (OEMs and component manufacturers) across 4 major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In our canvassing of primaries, we strived to cover various departments within organizations, which included sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint of this market in our report.
After interacting with the industry participants, we conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the opinions of the in-house subject-matter experts, led us to the findings as described in this report.
