All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Railway Construction Projects Report Overview

The railway construction projects size was $6.04 trillion in Q4 2023, which includes projects from the pre-planning stage to the execution stage. North-East Asia accounts for the largest share of global value. Public investment finances the majority of projects globally. Spending on new railway infrastructure development is expected to deviate globally in the coming years, with significant increases in investment in the United States, through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and China likely to see substantial growth in North America and North-East Asia, while reductions in public spending in Europe to limit the growth of government debt will see new investment soften.

By railway type, metros, tubes and light rail projects account for the largest proportion of global pipeline value accounting for a 40% share. This is ahead of high-speed railways, which account, and conventional commuter railways.

The railway construction projects research report provides analysis based on GlobalData’s construction projects showing total project values and analysis by stage and funding for all regions. The top 20 projects per region are listed giving the country, stage, and value of projects.

Railway Construction Projects Regional Segmentation

The key regions in the railway construction projects are North America, Northeast Asia, South Asia, Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Australasia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. North-East Asia accounts for the largest share of global pipeline value, followed by South Asia and Western Europe in 2023.

North America: Rail construction activity in North America will continue to be driven by the US’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). As of end-September 2023, the US government had announced more than $176 billion in transportation development projects including through the Rebuilding Infrastructure program. Among the recent developments, the government announced in July 2023 that it will direct funding for the proposed billion Hudson Tunnel project, which will rehabilitate the existing tunnel under the Hudson River that transports Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT Northeast Corridor passenger trains between New Jersey and New York.

North-East Asia: The pipeline of railway infrastructure developments in North-East Asia is the largest by value globally, due almost entirely to the considerable size of China’s railway construction pipeline. With the Chinese government expected to continue to invest heavily in transport infrastructure, demand for railway construction is likely to remain strong. Fixed asset investment by state-owned and state-controlled enterprises remains encouraging, though growth has slowed in recent months in 2023. Additionally, according to the National Railway Administration, investment in railway fixed assets rose by more than 7% YoY in the first eight months of 2023. Japan accounts for the second-largest proportion of regional project value. Rail construction in Japan is expected to be supported by an improvement in public investment.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
