DUBLIN, Sept. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Smart Railway System Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The congestion on road and in the air has increased the use of railways. People are finding it more feasible and convenient to travel by train than by any other mode of transportation. In addition, railways are safer and cleaner than roads. This increase in demand for railway travel has made it mandatory for railway operators to make their systems more advanced and automated. Thus advancement in technology is one of the major factor which is driving the growth of railway infrastructure. Another driver is population growth and hyper-urbanization.
The analysts forecast the Global Smart Railway System market will grow at a CAGR of 26.11 percent over the period 2013-2018.
The Global Smart Railway System market can be divided into three segments: Solutions, Devices and Components, and Services. The products in these segments help railway operators automate their systems and provide an efficient service to their customers.
The report, the Global Smart Railway System Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, the EMEA, and the APAC regions; it also covers the Global Smart Railway System market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years.
