By Region:

The Asia-Pacific region dominates the market

In Asia Pacific, growing populations and increasing urbanization in countries such as China, India, and Japan are driving the need for better connectivity and increasing numbers of trains.

The governments of these countries have been investing in the locomotive industry, further driving the demand for the market studied.

The Chinese government has been investing in railways recently. Some of the ongoing railway projects in the country include Lagos-Ibadan Railway (156km), Yinxi High Speed Railway (618km) and Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway (794km).

Also, Indian Railways has received an allocation of Rs 140 trillion in the Union Budget for 2022-23, which is 27.5 per cent higher than the estimated budget for this fiscal year.

In February 2022, Indian Railways announced that it will procure 90,000 wagons in the next three financial years, and the tender process will start in March. The estimated cost of the project is approximately INR 310 billion.

In India, several subway projects are underway. Some of these include Chennai Metro Phase 2, Delhi Metro Phase 4 and Kolkata East West Metro. The projects are expected to be operational in early 2025.

Japan and ASEAN countries have also been contributing to the growth of the market studied.

Therefore, based on the aforementioned aspects, the Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market.
