International Railway JournalIRJInternational Railway Journal The Market

Rail market demonstrates its resilience

The global rail market has been remarkably resilient

to the economic downturn and financial crisis of the

last few years, and while there have been cutbacks in

spending on rail in some countries, such as Spain and

Portugal, this has been compensated by strong growth

elsewhere, most notably the Middle East where rail

construction is booming.

The annual worldwide market for railway

technology products and services is worth around

€143bn. According to SCI Verkehr, Germany, the overall

market will continue to grow at an annual rate of 3.3%

to reach around €168bn by 2016.

The North American market, which was worth an

estimated €21.7bn in 2013 with passenger spending

slightly ahead of freight, is expected to grow at around

5%. Central and South America, which is dominated

by Brazil, will see very high growth rates in the urban

transport segment and significant growth in the freight

transport business. The €4.6bn market is forecast to

grow at 4% per year to reach €5.6bn by 2017.

Europe is by far the world’s largest market for

railway equipment and services. It was worth around

€49bn in 2012 and is expected to grow at about

3% a year.

Interest in Africa’s rich mineral resources has turned it

into one of the most dynamic markets. The €3.6bn market

will grow by 8.7% a year on average to €5.4bn in 2017.

While the Chinese economy is now less dynamic,

according to the World Bank it is still expected to grow

by 7.7% in 2014 compared with 7.5% in 2013, while

growth in East Asia is forecast at 7.2% in 2014, slightly

ahead of the 7.1% growth rate in 2013. Overall the

€43.4bn Asian rail market is expected to grow at around

1.8% annually.

Unrivalled coverage of InnoTrans

International Railway Journal offers unrivalled

coverage of the world’s largest railway exhibition,

InnoTrans, in four dedicated print issues, online and

through social media. In 2014 our editorial team will

again have all corners of Messe Berlin covered, offering

unrivalled online editorial coverage of the new event.

IRJ’s experienced and knowledgeable editorial

team, supported by colleagues from sister

publication, Railway Age, and many of our esteemed

correspondents, will cover events, unveilings and press

conferences across the exhibition. We will post the

latest news online throughout the show to give those

who are unable to attend an opportunity to keep up

with what is going on, and point those who are in Berlin

towards the highlights and talking points of the show.

IRJ will also dedicate three print issues to the major

themes of InnoTrans in the run up to the event, and

compile a comprehensive review of the show in the

November issue. July will look at Train Components

and Interiors, Passenger Information and Fare

Collection; August will focus on Track Technology and

Maintenance, and Signalling and Telecoms; September

will include features on Innovative Trains as well as our

comprehensive Show Preview. Each of these issues will

be distributed to delegates from our stand in Berlin and

provide advertisers with a chance to inform prospective

attendees of their presence and their products well in

advance of the event.
