Description

The global automatic train operation system market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.00% in the forecast period of 2025-2034.

Urban Trains Likely to Drive the Market Growth of Automatic Train Operation System

The growing use of automatic train operations in urban trains for better efficiency is significantly catalysing the market development of automatic train operation system. The rapid urbanisation and the increasing working-class segment are contributing to the rising demand for urban trains, particularly in metros, which is expanding the market for automatic train operation system. In addition, the numerous advantages that the system offers, such as better passenger service, energy efficiency, real-time optimisation of delays, and enhanced safety, are also providing impetus to the market growth of automatic train operation systems. Moreover, the governments' rising adoption of driverless trains to reduce staff costs is expected to increase the number of trains, thereby propelling the market expansion of automatic train operation system.

The Asia Pacific to Account for a Substantial Market Share in the Automatic Train Operation System Industry

The expanding rail network system in the Asia Pacific region, coupled with the demographic growth, is fuelling the market growth. In addition, the growing automation of metros and trains by the countries of this region is leading to the steady market growth of automatic train operation system. For instance, in 2020, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation of India launched the country’s first driverless train on the Magenta Line in the national capital.

Automatic Train Operation System: Market Segmentation

An automatic train operation system is a subsystem of automatic train control that helps automate train operations. The functions of the safety-enhancing system include positioning the train, encoding speed limits and signals, computing braking curves, and handling varying train lengths, among others. The level of automation is determined by the Grade of Automation (GoA) which is from level 0 to 4.

Rapid Automation of Trains to Drive the Growth of the Automatic Train Operation System Industry

The increasing automation of the trains to avoid negligence of drivers is leading to the market expansion of automatic train operation system. In addition, the automatic train operation system plays a critical role in environmental management as it plays a crucial role in reducing energy consumption by optimising the train speed and regenerating the energy during braking, thereby bolstering the market growth. Also, the adoption of an automatic train operation system offers cost-effectiveness as they reduce the speedups and braking during train rides. Moreover, the system ensures the safety of the passengers as it manages the opening and closing of doors, which is accelerating the market development of automatic train operation system.

Further, the governmental efforts in investing in advanced mobility solutions, such as hyperloop trains or bullet trains, are also significantly catalysing the market for automatic train operation systems. Over the forecast period, the breakthrough technological developments made by industry players in conducting tests and enabling the trains to operate automatically are expected to stimulate the automatic train operation system industry.
