The after-sales market makes up more than one half of the total railway vehicle market but is characterized by a much higher predictability compared to the OEM market. On the one hand, due to declining new purchases, more manufacturers are pushing into the after-sales market, as they can sell fewer new vehicles. On the other hand, due to the lack of new rolling stock, the railways will have to modernise more old rolling stock and will provide these services in-house for the benefit of their own workshop capacity utilisation. Nevertheless, the after-sales business offers medium and long-term growth prospects for manufacturers and independent suppliers as well.
