High-Speed Rail - Global Market Trends

High-speed rail transport is a fast, comfortable, convenient, and environmental-friendly mode of transport. Since Japan has opened the first dedicated high-speed line in 1964 between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka, high-speed rail transport has constantly become more and more popular all around the world. All world market regions have either already functioning high-speed networks/lines or are about to open systems in the next ten years. In the past few years many high-speed rail projects took place in Spain and even more in China. This huge country with many metropolitan areas is predestined for high-speed rail and the political will combined with sufficient funds and manpower allowed China to develop the longest high-speed network in the world within only a few years. China will soon also have the largest fleet of high-speed trains in the world. And China is by far not done with its high-speed plans. While most other high-speed schemes around the world appear small compared to China’s ambitious plans, they are still well worthwhile to analyse. Within the next five years the worldwide high-speed network and the fleets will multiply. In 2010, the market volume for new high-speed vehicles plus after-sales services already topped EUR 8 billion.

Based on the current developments in the rapid passenger transport segment, this study, entitled "High-Speed Rail - Global Market Trends”, delivers an analysis and well-founded assessment of the market for high-speed transport and tilting trains. The study is a continuation of the study "Global Prospects for the High-speed Rail Market” published in 2008.
