Railway Battery Market - Global Forecast to 2025
This study covers railway battery market by type, by propulsion, by technology, by application and by region. The gradual decreasing in the imports of fuel since the recent past is majorly responsible for the intensification of numerous railway electrification projects in several countries. Railway batteries are looked as the best substitute for the diesel engines for propulsion by the key players of rail industry. The high maintenance cost of diesel engines and its adverse impact on environment due to emission is further driving the growth of railway battery market globally. Moreover, the growing demand for energy efficient transportation is encouraging the use of battery which subsequently pushing the growth of railway battery market worldwide. However, high cost of battery for the power source may offer challenges to the growth of global railway battery market. Asia-pacific region is estimated to be the largest market for railway battery market due to the presence of large railway networks of numerous countries such as India, China, Japan, and Indonesia among others.

- To segment and forecast the railway battery market size, by value and volume, based on type, from 2017 to 2025.
- To segment and forecast the railway battery market size, by value and volume, based on propulsion, from 2017 to 2025.
- To segment and forecast the railway battery market size, by value and volume, based on technology, from 2017 to 2025.
- To segment and forecast the railway battery market size, by value and volume, based on application, from 2017 to 2025.
- To segment and forecast the electric vehicle range extender systems market size, by volume, based on region, from 2017 to 2025.
The research methodology used in the report involves various secondary sources including paid databases and directories. Experts from related industries and suppliers have been interviewed to understand the future trends of the railway battery. The bottom-up approach has been used to estimate the market size, by volume. The market size, by volume, is multiplied by the average OE price (AOP) of railway battery required for each application and the battery type to calculate the market size in terms of value. The summation of the country-wise market gives the regional market, and further summation of the regional market provides the global railway battery.
The ecosystem of the railway battery market consists of manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers such as Johnsons Controls (US), Exide Technologies (US), GS Yuasa (Japan), Robert Bosch (Germany), Saft Groupe (France), Delphi (UK), LG Chem (South Korea), Panasonic (Japan), Tesla (US), Toshiba (Japan).
