Global Railway Axle Market is valued at approximately USD XX million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Rail axles are one of the most critical safety components in railway vehicles. Axles are used to transfer the vehicle body’s vertical load to the wheels. These axles are linked to a coach, and each coach has two axles, one at the front end and one at the back end. The Railway Axle Market is expanding because of factors such as growing demand for fuel-efficient products and lightweight materials to be used in autonomous driving trains.
Increasing traffic causes high emissions, which contribute to an increase in greenhouse gases and global warming. Various governments throughout the world are concentrating on reducing rising traffic pollution. According to Statista, by 2070, the global hydrogen demand is expected to exceed 500 million metric tonnes. The transportation sector is predicted to become the largest user of hydrogen as governments and automakers shift away from traditional combustion engines. The sector is expected to consume 158.2 million metric tons of hydrogen. In the railway industry, dual-mode and hydrogen-powered engines are in high demand. For instance, in March 2020, CZ Loko announced the production of three sophisticated hybrid locomotives: the DualLiner 2000, the EffiLiner 2000, and the DualShunter 2000. These upgraded locomotives are scheduled to enter service in 2023. All three locomotives are based on the HybridShunter 400, which is powered by batteries and features a CAT C4.4 backup diesel engine with a power output of 130kW. Also, the rising environmental concerns and upgrading train infrastructure will provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period. However, the high cost of maintenance hampers market growth during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Railway Axle Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to rising urbanization, rising disposable income, and industrial expansion. The existence of key players in the Asia Pacific region is expected to support market growth in the area. Companies are making strategic investments to improve their capabilities. Due to their sales and manufacturing criteria, the presence of railway wheel and axle manufacturers in Asia Pacific countries creates industry development potential. North America is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the availability of advanced railway networks connecting countries. The railway has installed powerful trackside detectors to detect minute flaws in the equipment while the train is moving at full speed. With such innovative technologies, the railway network is projected to remain profitable and with low maintenance costs. Furthermore, this factor is fueling the growth of the railway wheel market.
