Hybrid Train Market Outlook - 2027

The global hybrid train market size was valued at $16.2 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $23.9 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2020 to 2027. Hybrid train are railway vehicles that run on alternate sources with electric source as the fixed one. Energy storage devices, such as batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels, are used to store energy from regenerative braking and additional energy generated during acceleration. Therefore, hybrid train are more cost-effective and reliable solutions for transportation compared to conventional fuel trains. The infrastructure cost associated with hybrid rail system is more than diesel-powered rail system. R&D on technologies for increasing the efficiency of rail transportation system is needed to decrease the cost associated with it, which in turn, is expected to create opportunities for key players in the market.

Rise in government initiatives toward reducing environmental pollution is expected to drive the growth of the hybrid train market during the forecast period. In addition, hybrid train are effectively used in passenger and freight transport applications and are beneficial over conventional trains, which in turn, are expected to fuel the growth of the global market during the analyzed timeframe. Key players in this market are also encouraged due to the initiatives taken by the government in developing the hybrid train network. Therefore, the players in this market are developing new hybrid train models, which in turn, increases their presence in different countries across the globe by means of using their hybrid train solutions in their respective country’s rail network.
