Rail Wheel and Axle Market Overview:

A Rail Wheel is a type of axle specially designed for railways. Continuous advances in train networks and train technology have forced train manufacturers to invest heavily in research and development of lightweight materials for the manufacture of axles for passenger trains, freight trains and short-distance trains. Increasing production of locomotives in developing and developed countries is the major driving factor for the growth of the railway axle market.

In recent years, with the substantial increase in the demand for railway transportation, the railway transportation system is undergoing profound changes. In every country, they are not only an integral part of national infrastructure, but also make a huge contribution to a sustainable future. Providing reliable rolling stock and infrastructure equipment is an important part of achieving a high level of safety. Rail axles are the most critical components in railway locomotives and bogies, designed and manufactured for heavy loads and long service life. These axles are used to transfer the vertical loads of the body to the wheels. These axles are attached to the wagons, and each wagon consists of two axles, one at the front and one at the rear of the wagon. Bearings are mounted via track axles, and the wheels are then mounted on the axles. Factors such as increasing government initiatives and investments in the railway industry are expected to drive the demand for railway axles over the forecast period. In our study, we considered hollow shafts and roller shafts in the shaft section.

The Asia Pacific market size was valued at USD 95.4 million in 2019. The region is dominating the global market owing to increasing urbanization, rising disposable income, and expanding industrial sector. The presence of key players in Asia Pacific is expected to boost the growth of the market in this region. Companies such as Taiyuan Heavy Industries, Datong ABC Foundry Co Ltd and many others are developing opportunities in the area. In addition, these suppliers are very focused on research and development. In addition, these companies collaborate with other organizations to facilitate export transactions and manufacture technologically advanced products. These companies are making strategic investments to enhance their capabilities. The presence of railway axle manufacturers in Asia Pacific countries has created opportunities for industry growth due to their sales and manufacturing parameters. These factors are expected to witness high growth of this market in Asia Pacific at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

North America also holds the second largest share in the global market owing to the presence of advanced railway network between the countries. Railroads deploy powerful wayside detectors to identify microscopic defects in equipment as trains pass at full speed. With these advanced technologies, the rail network is likely to remain profitable and have low maintenance costs. In addition, the presence of intermodal hubs (rail, ship, and truck) in North America helps the rail industry supply large volumes of cargo globally. Moreover, this factor is driving the growth of the North America railway wheels (railroad wheels) market and is expected to witness a high CAGR over the forecast period. Europe is also expected to show steady growth in this market.
