In an industry that is increasingly looking to new materials
and products to sustain long-term growth, “Composites in
the Passenger Rail Market 2003 – 2008: Materials,
markets and opportunities” is the only publication in
the world to provide up to date information on the state
of the global passenger rail market. The passenger rail market utilizes composite
materials for making of exterior and interior rail
components as well as infrastructure components. Interior
components made of composites include major items like
ceilings, floorings, bulkheads, vestibules, fire barriers,
corridor adapter frames, handrails, and luggage bins or
racks. Exterior components made of composites include
front ends, skirts, exterior panels, body shells, roofs,
end cabs and more. Reinforcements
used in the rail market are fiberglass, carbon fiber and
aramid fiber, and resins used are phenolics, polyesters
and epoxies. The global passenger rail market increased at
an average rate of 8.04% annually in last 5 years
(1997-2002). Uses of composites in the rail industry grew
by 11.2% annually in last 5 years. The total growth in the
composites consumption in last five years was 70.2%.
