Market Snapshot:
IoT in Railways Market - Report Coverage:
The “Iot in Railways Market Report - Forecast (2023-2030)” by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments in the IoT in Railways Market.
COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis - Impact Analysis:
· COVID-19 caused regular railway operations to be interrupted, leading railway traffic profits to plummet. The epidemic has compelled train operators, particularly metros, to adhere to safety standards such as keeping social distance and wearing masks. With nations opening up and demand for both passenger and freight transportation beginning to revive, train operators must prepare for long-term profitability and success in the post-pandemic world. Technology-driven innovation is quickly becoming a must for corporate survival.
· The conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to an increase in cyberattacks, including attacks on IoT communications; communication networks could be disrupted, affecting the ability to gather and transmit data from IoT devices. This could impact the real-time monitoring of infrastructure and equipment. IoT devices, if not properly secured, could be vulnerable to cyberattacks. A crisis might lead to an increased risk of cyberattacks on railway systems, potentially disrupting operations or compromising safety. Additionally, the supply-chain disruptions caused by the conflict could worsen the electronics chip shortage and rising energy prices could cause higher inflation and lower demand for IoT solutions, which could further impact the market.
Key Takeaways:
Europe region held the largest share
Europe is the dominating region as it held the largest market share in 2022 up to 36% in IoT in railway market. Digital transformation initiatives, cross-border connectivity, focus on smart infrastructure, interoperability standards, high-speed rail, passenger experience enhancement, freight management, environmental sustainability, research, and innovation funding, are the major factors that have driven the adoption of IoT in the European railways industry. The developed economy of Western Europe, such as the UK, France, and Germany have well-established and advanced rail networks, and these rail infrastructures are consistently upgraded and modernized with more investment and funding by the government.
IoT for Train Tracking and Monitoring Systems is Leading the Market
IoT (Internet of Things) has transformed various industries, including railways, by enabling efficient tracking, monitoring, and management of assets. It automates real-time monitoring of equipment by using smart sensors and machine vision cameras and controls to gather data from tracks, locomotives, trains, and equipment. With edge computing, data is analyzed
close to where it is collected in near-real time, and alerts can be triggered if issues are detected. IoT-based train tracking and monitoring systems have gained prominence in real-time tracking and safety enhancement as it has been very useful for loco pilots in avoiding accidents and ensuring the safety of the passengers.
IoT for High-Speed Trains is Expected to Witness the Highest growth
There's been growing interest in using IoT technologies to enhance the efficiency, safety, and passenger experience in high-speed trains. The Internet of things (IoT), a new generation of application infrastructure and strategic developing technologies, will unavoidably be included in the rapid development of high-speed railways. Compared to conventional rail and road choices, high-speed railroads offer a speedier form of transportation. Because they shorten the distance between cities, they are attractive to both business and leisure travelers. Using IoT in high-speed railways can efficiently handle congestion and overcrowding, which create operational inefficiencies.
Increasing Need for Operational Efficiency in Railways
The increasing need for operational efficiency in railways is driven by various factors that influence the industry's performance, effectiveness, and sustainability. Urbanization, congestion and capacity constraints, travel times, cost management, competitiveness, and environmental sustainability are driving the need for operation efficiency in railways. Using deep learning and AI through computer vision, sensors, and smart cameras can efficiently manage overcrowding, congestion, and downtime.
· High initial cost of deployment in the installation of IoT in railways
The initial cost of implementing IoT solutions in railways is high. Expenses associated with financing a smart railway project may be a major factor limiting market growth. Sensor deployment and maintenance, data management and analytics, communication infrastructure, integration, cybersecurity concerns, and workforce training with rising upfront installation costs, are barriers to the widespread adoption of IoT in the railways. The limited railway budgets are a barrier to the deployment of advanced railway technologies. Initial significant investment to install ground-level devices, arrange transmission networks between end users, and manage the integration of new and existing systems within railway premises, as well as the predictive maintenance cost, is hampering the growth of this market.
