Global Railway Wheel Market Outlook 2018-2023

The global railway wheel market is anticipated to grow at a staggering CAGR of 2.1% by 2023. A wheel comprises three portions i.e. hub, web, and rim and have various characteristics such as tensile strength, anti-thermal damage, and vibration resistance. The characteristics for individual portions are different from each other. Web portion needs to have enough mechanical strength to sustain heavy loads produced by the vehicle mass and simultaneously it should be considered from the aspect of thermal stress distribution. The rim portion contains the steel grade to be viewed from anti wear and anti-thermal characteristics. 

Technically put together, a railway wheel with an axle is one of the vital aspects that maintains safer railway operations. Wheels enable a strong support for entire weight of the wagon. Hence, high tensile strength is needed to ensure a fail-safe structure.

The railway wheel market is driven by rise in demand for locomotive transport and increase in rail transportation. The market also witnesses several reforms such as enhancement in rail production policy and the need for efficient transport in railways. Railways having a wider connectivity over land transport is also subject to timely maintenance, which, in return, triggers the market variables. By type segment, the railway wheel market includes cast steel wheel and wrought steel wheel. 

Geographical segmentation for railway wheel market includes North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Asia-Pacific accounts for a higher CAGR in the forecast period due to wider rail networks and flexible policies by rail ministry. Abundance of raw material for manufacturing railway wheel is another aspect that stimulates the market growth during the forecast period. North American and European market, on the other hand, is expected to witness a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to mechanical advances and enhanced customer base. The market is highly channelized to offer a great service to the rail industry in these regions. 

The key players in the railway wheel market include EVRAZ NTMK, Vyska Steel Works (VSW), Bochumer Verein Verkehrstechnik (BVV), Rail Wheel Factory, GHH-Bonatrans, Amsted Rail, Semco, Arrium, Kolowag, Masteel, Taiyuan Heavy Industry, Datong ABC Castings Company, Xinyang Tonghe Wheels, Zhibo Lucchini Railway Equipment, and Jinzi Axle.
