3. Market Leader - Hybrid Train Market

The global hybrid train market size is projected to reach 745 units by 2030, from an estimated  470 units in 2022, at a CAGR of 5.9%. The base year for the report is 2022, and the forecast period is from 2022 to 2030. The scarcity of natural resources and the rising cost of fuel will likely shift the focus from diesel trains to eco-friendly transport and boost the demand for hybrid trains during the forecast period.

The hybrid train market is dominated by players such as CRRC (China), Alstom (France), Siemens (Germany), Wabtec Corporation (US), and Hyundai Rotem Company (South Korea). These companies developed new products, adopted expansion strategies, and undertook collaborations, partnerships, and mergers & acquisitions to gain traction in this high-growth hybrid train market.

CRRC is the largest supplier of railway units and components in the world. The company is quite ahead of its competitors in terms of revenue generated. Also, the company has many subsidiaries across the globe, working on developing advanced hybrid train solutions. However, CRRC might have to suffer in the future a bit, due to political scenarios with countries such as India and the US, which are its customers. Despite such scenarios, the company will keep leading the hybrid train market due to large sales volumes across the world. CRRC has vigorously implement the strategy for internationalization, diversification and collaborative development, and strive to be the worlds leading provider of high-end equipment system solutions with rail transit equipment as the core, which is capable of multinational operations. For instance, In May 2022, CRRC signed a new energy light rail train contract online with Jujuy of Argentina. Train comprises two carriages, with a maximum capacity of 72 passengers and a maximum operating speed of 60km/h. Lithium batteries are adopted as the power supply, which will utilize the rich solar resources of Jujuy to bring green and comfortable traveling experience for passengers.
