Transportation produced approximately nine billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂) worldwide in 2024. Road vehicles were the biggest sector's polluters by far, making up three-quarters of total transportation-related emissions that year. Shipping followed, with international and domestic maritime emissions accounting for a combined share of 11 percent of emissions. Road transportation emissions Emissions from passenger vehicles increased by around 20 percent between 2010 and 2023 to 3.2 GtCO₂, making them the biggest contributors to global road transportation emissions. Heavy duty trucks are also major polluters, releasing almost two GtCO₂ worldwide annually. Where are transportation emissions highest? The United States is the largest producer of transportation emissions worldwide. In 2024, U.S. transportation sector emissions totaled 1.9 GtCO₂. U.S. transportation emissions have decreased by more than eight percent since peaking in 2007.

Train, subway and transit car manufacturers have contended with difficult times in recent years. The outbreak of COVID-19 brought the whole economy to a halt, including travel and freight transportation. This resulted in a period of low demand, as fewer new railcars were needed. This also meant little wear was put on the existing railcars, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement even as the economy reopened. Government assistance and revitalized industrial activity have helped jumpstart the rolling stock manufacturing industry recently, though not enough to counteract the revenue declines of previous years. Overall, industry revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 2.6% to $12.7 billion in the current period, with an increase of 0.02% in 2024. Trade conditions can easily sway industry performance. Legislation prevents import penetration from having too strong of an effect, but exports account for an essential portion of industry revenue. An appreciating US dollar in recent years has kept the appeal of exports low, but a declining Trade-Weighted Index (TWI) moving forward will reduce their comparative cost, benefitting domestic manufacturers. Trade across industries also drives industry demand as freight transport is one of the primary functions of rolling stock. As economic activity rises and trade conditions improve, more goods will need to be shipped around the country, creating a growth opportunity for the industry. Brighter days are ahead for rolling stock manufacturers. Profit will grow in the coming years as commodity prices fall, reducing purchase costs. The rolling stock manufacturing industry is also set to grow due to sustainability initiatives and increased government funding. Rising climate awareness will drive shifts towards rail travel, generating higher demand for rail services despite regulatory compliance challenges. Additionally, federal investments from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will support rail infrastructure improvements, further stimulating demand for freight and public transit vehicles. Revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% to $13.5 billion in 2029.

Consequently, the demand for railway telematics is being driven by the expansion of freight traffic.

Key Restraint for the Railway Telematics Market

High Initial Expenses to Hamper Market Growth 

One of the main obstacles to railway telematics is the expensive installation expenses. In addition to requiring frequent upkeep and collecting data systems, the telematics system raises costs. The devices and goods used in Automatic Fare Collecting (AFC) technology are sophisticated and expensive due to their technological foundation. While the technology alleviates traffic congestion, it also increases the cost of the charging process, which means that the cost charge will increase. Installing smart railway systems comes with a high upfront cost. In order to operate both new and old equipment within buildings, replace older facilities, establish connections among end users, and put up field-level gadgets, significant expenditures are required. The hefty maintenance and upkeep expenses following installation are another worry for railway administrations. Consequently, the substantial upfront costs associated with implementing digital railway components and systems are anticipated to impede market progress.

As a share of the country’s GDP, China’s average infrastructure spending in 2022 was nearly ** times higher than that of the United States. Indeed, at *** percent of its GDP, China's investments were significantly higher than anywhere else in the world. By comparison, investments in Central & Eastern Europe - the CEE region - were relatively higher than those in their Western European counterparts. Infrastructure construction and development The construction industry plays a significant role in most economies. The reason for that is that public investment into essential infrastructure enables the economy to function properly and be well connected. Without transportation and energy infrastructure, which were the two types of infrastructure with the highest construction spending in the U.S., or telecommunication networks, such as 5G base stations, many industries could not perform their activities. Infrastructure needs Despite the importance of infrastructure for the wellbeing of communities, infrastructure investment is sub par in many countries across the world. As of 2020, projected infrastructure spending was estimated to be unable to fulfill spending needs in the United States, where the aging infrastructure is in dire need of repair. Although as seen here, China was the country with the highest investment in infrastructure relative to its GDP, as of 2019, it also has higher projected infrastructure needs than most regions.
