Locomotive Global Market Report 2024

Description

A locomotive is a powerful engine designed to pull trains along railway tracks, providing the necessary traction to move freight or passenger cars from one place to another. It is essential in transportation, logistics, industry, tourism, and emergency response.

The main types of locomotives include diesel and electric. Diesel locomotives use diesel engines to drive electric generators, which in turn power electric traction motors. Key components include rectifiers, inverters, traction motors, and alternators, utilizing technologies such as IGBT power modules, GTO thyristor modules, and SiC power modules. These locomotives serve various end-users, including freight and passenger transport.

The locomotive market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides locomotive market statistics, including locomotive industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a locomotive market share, detailed locomotive market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the locomotive industry. This locomotive market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The locomotive market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.89 billion in 2023 to $21.70 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the rising demand for efficient transportation systems, increased manufacturing of rolling stock, the development of global rail infrastructure, growing investments, the emergence of hybrid and battery-electric locomotives, and the heightened demand for advanced power components.

The locomotive market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.10 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be linked to heightened safety concerns, increasing traffic congestion, greater demand for public transportation, accelerating urbanization, and a surge in the need for rail transport. Key trends for this period include the electrification of rail networks, expanding investments in advanced locomotive technologies, the adoption of digitalization and data analytics, the use of artificial intelligence, and advancements in railway management systems.

The growing demand for rail transport is anticipated to drive the expansion of the locomotive market in the coming years. Rail transport involves the movement of passengers and goods via trains on fixed tracks or railways, relying on a specialized infrastructure that includes tracks, bridges, tunnels, and stations. This method facilitates efficient and sustainable land transportation. The demand for rail transport is fueled by its efficiency in freight movement, investments in infrastructure, and supportive government policies and incentives. Locomotives are essential for the effective operation of railways, allowing the transport of goods and passengers over long distances and offering flexibility for various operational requirements. For example, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based intergovernmental organization, reported that in 2021, passengers traveled approximately 260 billion passenger kilometers on European railways, which increased to 393.37 billion passenger kilometers in 2022. Consequently, the rising demand for rail transport is boosting the locomotive market.

Leading companies in the locomotive market are concentrating on developing advanced products such as next-generation hybrid locomotives to reduce emissions, boost fuel efficiency, and enhance operational flexibility by combining electric and diesel propulsion systems. These hybrid locomotives represent a significant advancement in the rail industry's pursuit of more sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. For example, in May 2024, CRRC Corporation Limited, a China-based rolling stock manufacturer, introduced ten six-axle FXN3B locomotives, marking a new generation of hybrid locomotives. These locomotives have begun shunting in Beijing, demonstrating significant technological advancements in China's railway sector. They are modular and standardized with other machines in the Fuxing platform, making maintenance and repairs easier.

In January 2021, Alstom, a France-based manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock, completed the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition bolstered Alstom's market presence in key regions including the UK, Germany, and North America. Bombardier Transportation, headquartered in Canada, specializes in manufacturing locomotives and rolling stock.
