Market Outlook
The market for overhead catenary systems is seen to be accelerated by a couple of factors. One of the main factors to boost the growth of the market is the rapidly expanding rate of high-speed rail network services. This is taking place in most of the regions so as to achieve faster means of transport. Apart from that the growing need for rail transport facilities that are both technologically advanced and energy efficient is also boosting the growth of the overhead catenary system market in the future years. However, factors like the high investment of capital and their high maintenance costs of the overhead catenary systems may pose a threat to the overall growth of the market in the years to come. Adding to that is the growth of the third rail system happening in urban rail transits which is also another cause of concerns for players on this market.

The overhead catenary system market for electrified track length in operation is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.55% during the forecast period, from an estimated market size of 232.6 thousand miles in 2018 to 326.7 thousand miles by 2025.
The simple catenary type segment is expected to be the largest growing segment of the overhead catenary system market, by catenary type. Presently, the largest market share of the operational train fleet is functioning over the simple type catenary system. This scenario is likely to remain the same during the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that the majority of the proposed rail projects worldwide are expected to be operated on the simple catenary system because of fewer complications and an easy built-up structure.
