Research and Markets -- $5.36 Billion Monorail Systems Market by Type, Propulsion Type, Size and Region - Global Forecast to 2021: Bombardier Transportation Leads the Market

DUBLIN, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Monorail Systems Market by Type (Straddle, and Suspended), Propulsion Type (Electric, and Maglev), Size (Large Monorail, Medium Monorail, and Compact Monorail), and Region - Global Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.

The global monorail systems market, in terms of value, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.75% from 2016 to 2021. The market is estimated to be USD 4.68 billion in 2016, and is projected to reach 5.36 Billion by 2021. Increase in urbanization has led to increase in demand for alternative transportation which has driven the monorail system industry.

The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to dominate the monorail systems market, in terms of value, in 2016, as it comprises some of the fastest developing economies in the world, including China, India, and South Korea. This has led to an increase in monorail systems installation volumes in recent years, with OEMs catering not only to the domestic demand but to overseas demand as well.

There is a lack of innovation and R&D for monorail systems. OEMs need to invest heavily in R&D to enhance the ability of monorail systems to improve its speed, reliability and efficiency in order to reduce turnaround time. Maglev monorail systems have a higher installation cost than electric monorail systems. These vehicles have not yet penetrated in the emerging markets. The high installation cost is one of the major factors preventing manufacturers from entering the Asia-Pacific market, particularly in countries such as China, India, and South Korea.

Bombardier Transportation (Canada) is a major player in the monorail systems market. It is an industry leader in the implementation and installation of monorail systems. It has a strong product portfolio, with fully automated monorail system under brand called "Innovia". Bombardier Transportation and Chinese CSR Nanjing Puzhen entered into a joint venture to develop and manufacture Innovia Monorail vehicles for urban transit systems in China. Bombardier Transportation (Canada) invested in a site in Brazil worth USD 15 million to manufacture its new and improved monorail systems that will strengthen its presence globally.
