3. Market Leaders - Rolling Stock Market

The global rolling stock market, by value, is estimated to be 54.6 USD billion in 2023 and is projected to reach 65.6 USD billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2023 to 2028. In the near future, demand for rolling stock is expected to increase due to favourable investment made for railway industry.

The increasing urban population is expected to require the governments to increase urban transportation facilities such as metros, light rails, monorails, and subways. This is expected to drive the demand for new rail vehicles, including locomotives, multiple units, wagons, and coaches. Governments across the globe have increased investments in rail system infrastructure to cater to the transportation needs of the rising population. These investments offer opportunities for rolling stock manufacturers to expand their revenue streams and geographical presence.
