Benchmarking the rapid strategy shifts of the Top 100 companies in the Train Battery Market
Request Now[136 Pages Report] The train battery market is primarily driven by the increasing population which has led to the demand for rail transport and railway electrification across the globe. The train battery market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.15% from 2018 to 2025. From a market size of USD 445.4 million in 2017, it is projected to reach USD 703.2 million by 2025.
By battery type, the train battery market for the lithium-ion segment is expected to have the fastest growth rate during the forecast period
The Lithium-ion segment is projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the low discharge of lithium-ion batteries over a period, which makes them significantly more efficient than other batteries. Also, these batteries are lightweight, have better insulation and longer operating life, and are maintenance-free.
By battery technology, the Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery segment is projected to hold the largest share of the train battery market during the forecast period
Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery is projected to be the largest segment of the train battery market by battery technology. These batteries are environment friendly, provide large currents, and can be easily stored in stacks. Also, they require less maintenance compared to lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries.
APAC to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest train battery market in 2018. Market growth in the region can be attributed to the large population and extensive rail networks. Upcoming projects such as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train will aid the growth of the train battery market in the region. The Train battery market for bullet trains in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.00% during the forecast period. The lithium-ion battery is projected to be the fastest-growing battery type, while the demand for a lead-acid battery is projected to remain stagnant during the forecast period. The Chinese government plans to extend its rail network by adding 40,000 km of track length by 2025 for the deployment of more passenger trains. Indian Railways would also launch semi-luxury passenger trains, metros, and high-speed trains. Thus, an increase in the number of passenger trains in the Asia Pacific region will boost the demand for train batteries in the region.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Rise in demand for an energy efficient transportation system
The rising concerns of air pollution, which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, have increased the demand for energy-efficient transport. Although a high-speed train such as BR Class 222 uses fossil fuels for its operation, it has proved to be a highly energy-efficient and environment-friendly mode of mass rapid transport. CO2 emission released by a high-speed train is lesser compared to other modes of transportation. According to the International Union of Railways (UIC), the high-speed train network in France and China has carbon footprints 14 times and 15 times lesser than other modes of transport such as cars and aviation. Thus, the growing concerns about the harmful effects of vehicular emissions on the environment are expected to drive the growth of high-speed trains, which in turn will increase the demand for train batteries.
Restraint: High capital investment & operating costs of high-speed rail networks
The demand for high-speed trains has increased throughout the world. The benefits of a high-speed train network such as short travel time, energy efficiency with fewer carbon emissions, and comfort and safety have attracted several countries and passengers. However, high infrastructure cost and government budget constraints have hampered the adoption of a high-speed train network in countries such as Portugal and Mexico. In 2012, Portugal canceled the high-speed train project due to the country’s inability to invest and public debt. Likewise, Mexico had also suspended a high-speed train project in the past. External factors such as land acquisition, air and noise pollution, and global warming may further hinder the growth of the high-speed train market. While developing countries such as India, Turkey, and others plan to modify the existing tracks, they are unable to invest in new tracks and infrastructure due to budget constraints. The high cost of infrastructure thus hinders the growth of high-speed train networks in these countries.
Opportunity: Development of hybrid rail systems
With increasing stringency of emission regulations and technological advancements, the manufacturers have shifted focus toward battery-operated/hybrid trains, which in turn is impacting the overall demand for rolling stock as well as components such as batteries. Battery-operated trains have been used since 1930. They are primarily used as maintenance locomotives for track maintenance. The increase in stringency of rolling stock emission has compelled manufacturers to shift their focus toward rolling stock electrification.
Challenge: Increase in battery capacity & installation requirements
The emergence of the battery-operated rolling stock has increased the demand for high-power output battery packs. The manufacturers are not able to use the full potential of the battery. The full battery potential can be achieved by improving the energy efficiency of the rolling stock. Reducing weight and utilizing regenerative braking can help increase energy efficiency. However, problems remain in cases where the generated energy cannot be returned to the overhead lines. The heat generated during charging and discharging makes the underfloor installation difficult for the manufacturers. The high-speed and hybrid trains require high energy-density battery modules containing 72 batteries of about 1,598 V in comparison to the 110 V battery used in the traditional trains. The full battery operation can cover approximately 30km on a non-electrified track. The manufacturers are now trying to upgrade the battery technology. Thus, high battery power requirement with minimal energy loss, difficulty in onboard charging, and discharge downtime are the major concerns for the manufacturers.
