Railway Traction Motor Market by Type (Direct Current Traction Motor, Alternating Current Traction Motor, and Synchronous Alternating Current Traction Motor), by Application (Diesel locomotive, Electric multiple unit, Electric locomotive, and Direct electric locomotive) - Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020 – 2030

Market Definition

The global Railway Traction Motor Market size was valued at USD 33.69 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 47.64 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2020 to 2030. Traction motor is an electric motor used to generate the power for rotating the wheels of a train. Traction motors are widely used in railways due to its high performance and greater durability. These traction motors provide effective torque and mechanical force required for the effective functioning of the railway coaches with heavy weights.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The global railway traction motor market is majorly driven by the development in railroad technologies and stringent regulations pertaining to vehicular emissions in countries around the world. Also, increased demand of metro and mono rails for better transport within the city coupled with expanding in tourism industry is expected to fuel the growth of market.

The other factors such as increase in the number of railway projects, railway logistics, and electrification in conventional railways are expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. However, high investment is required for designing and manufacturing traction motors. This high capital investment is expected to inhibit the railway traction motor market growth. On the other hand, research and development to reduce the cost are expected to create numerous opportunities in the market over the forecast period.
