With the MultiClient Study "Monorail and Automated Pepole Mover – Global Market Trends 2025", SCI Verkehr provides a detailed and data-driven overview of the global market for monorail systems and automated people movers (APM), including Automated Guideway Transit (AGT). The study analyses the structure, installed bases and procurement pipelines of both system types, differentiating between airport and public transport applications. Driven by global urbanisation, the need for efficient airport logistics, and increasing pressure on surface infrastructure, monorail and APM systems are gaining strategic relevance. Southeast Asia and the Gulf region are currently the strongest growth markets, while established markets in North America, East Asia, and Europe continue to invest in fleet renewals and network extensions. In parallel, new players are entering the market, and delivery volumes are increasingly concentrated among a small number of dominant suppliers. Based on current project pipelines and manufacturer data, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of future market development up to 2035.

In concrete terms, this market study includes:

• Market Structure & Trends – Qualitative analysis of key drivers, including urbanisation, airport capacity expansion, and technological developments in automation and system design
• System Database & Regional Profiles – Overview of all known monorail and APM systems worldwide, including installed base, current expansions, and regional growth dynamics
• Fleet and Vehicle Analysis – Detailed breakdown of system lengths, vehicle fleet sizes, platform technologies and manufacturers
• Forecasts & Project Pipelines – Scenario-based forecasts for new systems and fleet expansions by region and application type (airport vs. urban)
• Manufacturer Landscape – Assessment of key suppliers, platform strategies, and regional positioning across both monorail and APM markets
• Strategic Outlook – Evaluation of market attractiveness by region, including implementation capacity and functional need, supported by comparative graphics

This study offers strategic insights for all stakeholders involved in the development, financing, or operation of monorail and APM systems. It is aimed at manufacturers, transport operators, suppliers, leasing companies, investors, institutions, and consulting firms with an interest in this dynamically growing global market segment.
