Opportunity

• Rise in congestion due to aging railway infrastructure

Aging railway systems limit the efficiency of resources and compromise reliability in established rail markets. New markets adopt newer, more flexible technology infrastructures, leaping over the current practices. The increasing demand for rail services is straining the existing systems and requiring the optimization of the existing passenger and freight schedules to achieve increased throughput on the current rail infrastructure. Rail freight companies are experiencing growth in trade, especially in energy and commodities areas. Harbors are experiencing serious bottlenecks, resulting in issues for connected railroads. Rail companies are increasing asset utilization and making significant investments in infrastructure to meet capacity challenges. They are also investing heavily in proper asset management, automation, and traffic control technologies.

Restraint/Challenge

• High initial cost of deployment

The initial cost involved in the installation of railway management solutions is high. Expenses involved in financing a railway management system project may be a major factor that can restrain the market growth. Huge Capital Expenditure (CAPEX), coupled with mounting upfront installation costs, is certainly a hurdle to the adoption of railway management system technologies across regions. The limited existing budgets for railways are a restraining factor in the deployment of advanced railway technologies and solutions by governments and private companies. The railway management system requires a huge initial investment to set up field-level devices, replace aging infrastructure, arrange transmission networks between end users, and manage the integration of new and existing systems within railway premises. High operational and maintenance costs are also a huge concern for railway authorities.
