Rail Freight Transportation Market Dynamics

Rising freight volumes, infrastructural development, and the adoption of advanced technology are all driving market growth. When compared to other means of transportation, rail freight transport is less expensive and more efficient because it allows a larger volume of cargo to be delivered over longer distances. The use of trains to transport goods minimizes the amount of fuel used and the amount of pollution produced. Rail transit is estimated to be six to seven times more efficient than vehicle transportation, with emissions reduced by 30 to 80 percent. Also, the cost of railway transportation is only one-tenth of the cost of automobile transportation. These factors are driving governments to opt for rail freight transport. Similarly, as global trade grows, cross-border rail freight transport is expected to gain popularity in many regions of the world. Rail travel between Europe and China, for example, is increasing since it promotes economic development by connecting countries and offering access to global and regional markets. Rail freight linkages exist in 59 Chinese cities and around 49 European cities. Aside from electronics, printers, and laptops, Chinese rail shipments to Europe also include food, wine, clothing, and even automobiles. Implementation of restrictions on foreign entry and other hurdles is expected to hamper the market growth in various countries around the world. Furthermore, the high energy tax burden on rail freight in the United States and Europe poses a significant challenge to the rail freight market.

COVID-19 Impact on the Rail Freight Transportation Market

COVID pandemic has a major impact on the market in terms of sales as more than 44% of sales of units are hampered owing to disruption in transport capabilities of the manufacturers due to stringent norms of lockdown and increasing safety concerns. Furthermore, supply chain interruptions, demand destruction, and changes in customer behavior owing to stringent lockdown conditions across the globe have impacted the global rail freight transportation market. The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in a shortage of truck drivers as well as restrictions on sea and air transport in many countries and regions. As a result, the cost of transportation by truck, sea, or air has risen significantly in comparison to rail freight costs. Thus, switching to rail freight transportation has provided benefits in the supply chain during the pandemic. Rail freight transportation also plays an important role in linking European economies and keeping freight moving during the covid-19 pandemic.
