For an industry which is increasingly looking to new materials and products to sustain long-term growth, “Opportunities of Composites in Worldwide Passenger Railway Market: 2010-2015” 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 for new railcars increased at an average rate of 9.1% annually in last 5 years (2004-2009). Uses of composites in the rail industry grew by 10.4% annually in last 5 years. Composites in passenger rail market is expected to grow at 10.5% in next five years with focus on weight reduction, fuel efficiency and with better FST performance. Significant regional shift, in the overall passenger rail market is taking place. This new dimension is likely to provide tremendous growth to regional players and existing companies are expected to face fierce competition in the coming time.
