Rail Maintenance Services in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Rail Maintenance Services in the US

The success of the Rail Maintenance Services industry is generally aligned with the fortunes of the downstream industry it serves, with demand for repair and maintenance services rising in line with increased freight and passenger rail traffic. Industry demand has grown steadily over the five years to 2019, as the growth of the US economy sustained demand for rail freight transport services. Furthermore, growth in trade volumes has been particularly important to the expansion of industry demand, as a large share of both US imports and exports are shipped by rail. In addition, increased commercial activity and continued private investment in rail infrastructure are anticipated to drive demand for rail maintenance. However, the industry has failed to increase average profitability due in part to outsized growth in wages. Overall, industry revenue is anticipated to increase during the current period. Over the five years to 2024, industry revenue is forecast to continue to rise. However, the anticipated continuation of declining federal funding for rail transportation infrastructure poses a threat to the industry.

This industry provides specialized services for railroad transportation including servicing, administering routine repairs (exclusive of factory conversion, overhaul or rebuilding of rolling stock), performing maintenance on railcars, loading and unloading of railcars and operating independent rail terminals.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
