Rolling stock refers to all wheeled vehicles that run on railway tracks and includes both powered and unpowered coaches, carriages, passenger cars and freight wagons. It is considered to be one of the most cost-effective modes of conveyance for commuters as well as for transporting heavy or bulky goods over long distances. It can also be easily customized as per the exact requirements of the end user and provides a larger carrying capacity in comparison to other forms of transportation. As a result, it offers extensive applicability in various industries such as oil and gas, automotive, and mining where tank wagons are used to transport multiple deliverables, industrial chemicals, petrol and diesel.
The increasing urban population and growing industrial mining activities around the world, which have driven the demand for rapid trams, local passenger and fast metro trains, represent the key factors driving the global rolling stock market. People are increasingly opting for public transports as it reduces on-road congestion and provides a time-saving, comfortable and economical mode of transportation. Moreover, the innovations in big data and analytics have assisted industrial Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers to streamline their operations and provide digital solutions, real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions to rolling stock users. Furthermore, technological advancements such as magnetic levitation trains (Maglev Trains), application of IoT in communications, signaling, engineering and enhancing onboard experience for the passengers have also catalyzed the growth of the global rolling stock market.
