궤도 부설 기기 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Track Laying Equipment Market was valued at USD 626.12 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% between 2025 and 2034. Aging rail systems worldwide require modernization to meet current safety, efficiency, and capacity standards. Replacing outdated tracks with advanced infrastructure is essential for accommodating faster and more efficient trains. This growing focus on infrastructure upgrades is driving the demand for precision track laying equipment, which plays a crucial role in enhancing railway performance.

Governments globally are prioritizing rail infrastructure enhancements through strategic partnerships and investments. These collaborations are focused on technology sharing, improved track maintenance, and the expansion of rail networks. Additionally, the rising adoption of metro and light rail systems in urban areas is addressing traffic congestion and supporting eco-friendly transportation initiatives. The need for advanced equipment capable of efficient and accurate track installation is growing, particularly in urban transit projects where rapid deployment is critical.

The market is segmented by technology into manual, semi-automated, and fully automated systems. In 2024, manual equipment accounted for over 50% of the market share and is expected to surpass USD 400 million by 2034. Despite the growing adoption of automation, manual systems remain popular in cost-sensitive regions and smaller projects. Their affordability, simplicity, and ease of maintenance make them a viable option for less complex rail infrastructure projects. Manual equipment is especially beneficial in areas with limited technical expertise or resources, allowing projects to progress efficiently even under constrained budgets.

By end-user, the market is categorized into public rail systems, private freight operators, private passenger services, and defense. Public rail systems held the largest share, around 51%, in 2024. Governments are increasingly investing in rail infrastructure to improve urban mobility, reduce traffic congestion, and achieve sustainability goals. Modernization efforts for metro and regional rail networks are boosting the demand for high-performance track laying equipment. These investments align with the global push for environmentally friendly and reliable transportation solutions.

The Asia Pacific region led the market in 2024, accounting for 40% of the revenue share. Rapid urbanization and the expansion of metro and high-speed rail networks are driving demand for advanced track laying technologies in this region. Countries such as China and India are heavily investing in rail projects as part of their national infrastructure development strategies, fueling market growth across Asia-Pacific.
