3. Market Leaders - Railway Cybersecurity Market

The railway cybersecurity market is estimated to be USD 6.2 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period, to reach USD 10.6 billion by 2027. Increase in user preference for public transportation and growing demand for smart transportation and internet of things (IoT) will propel the railway cybersecurity market.

Some of the major players in the railway cybersecurity market are Thales (France), Alstom (France), Siemens (Germany), Bombardier (Canada), and Nokia Networks (Finland). These players have long-term supply contracts with leading service operators. These companies have adopted strategies of new product developments, acquisitions, agreements, collaborations, expansions, joint ventures, partnerships, and supply contracts to gain traction in the railway cybersecurity market.

Partnerships, contracts, and collaborations were the most widely adopted strategies by major players in the global railway cybersecurity market. For instance, in October 2018, the Société du Grand Paris (SGP), which owns the Grand Paris Express project, awarded Siemens Mobility and Thales consortium with the delivery of the automated train control system that uses wireless communications-based train control (CBTC) technology and operating control centers for the future new lines 15, 16, and 17, which would be completed by 2030. Siemens Mobility will design and implement the most advanced generation of its fully automated CBTC technology. It will complete the integration of the entire transportation system. Thales will design and implement the operating control centers (centralized supervision of train traffic, energy systems, auxiliary equipment, and digital information systems) as well as trackside equipment and a secure communication network.

The second most popular strategy adopted by industry players was new product development and product enhancement. For instance, in March 2021, Thales developed the DIVA (Distributed Intelligent Video Analytics) solution for passenger railways. This solution will be useful for leveraging existing CCTV networks on stations and onboard trains to provide real-time information and passenger density.

Alstom: Alstom is a French multinational company operating in the global rail transport market. It is active in the fields of passenger transportation, signaling, and locomotives.
