High Speed Rail Infrastructure Component Manufacturing
July 1, 2010
During 2010, many nations will increase their roll out of high-speed rail (HSR) initiatives
to make them a more integral part of their overall transportation infrastructure and
improve their transportation infrastructure for commuters and freight. Several countries
in Europe that lack an HSR system have expressed their commitment to begin
construction by the end of the year. Many Asian nations, too, have already begun HSR
development projects that will be completed by 2015 or 2020. China and Japan, for
instance, are rolling out thousands of miles of new routes that will expand their
established HSR network and create new HSR capacity through the next decade.
Manufacturers of a multitude of HSR components required to construct this complex
transportation system stand waiting in the wings to capitalize on the potential need for
their supply of goods and services.
Nations with little or no HSR infrastructure, such as the United States, are closely
weighing the benefits of HSR adoption and the initial and long-term financial
commitments. Much of the debate is centered around the types of HSR infrastructure to
implement. Traditionalists of HSR manufacturing advocate a wheels-on-rail system
while futurists prefer the more costly magnetic levitation (maglev) system.
This SBI Energy report analyzes the market opportunities that global HSR
manufacturers are eager to embrace through the next decade. We examine the critical
trends driving HSR growth by region and forecast the value of this growth by each of the
manufactured HSR components. Finally, we look at the socioeconomic and consumer-
based trends affecting the HSR industry, such as the development of next-generation
HSR products, safety issues, and long-term effects of HSR on a transportation
economy.
