Locomotive Lighting Batteries Market Snapshot 2023 to 2033

The global Locomotive Lighting Batteries market is expected to witness a market value of USD 4.23 Billion in 2023 and is expected to accumulate a market value of USD 7.94 Billion by registering a CAGR of 6.5% in the forecast period 2023 to 2033. The market for Locomotive Lighting Batteries market registered a CAGR of 3.3% in the historical period 2018 to 2022. Surge in the demand for energy efficient transport system across the globe is expected to accelerate the market growth.

As per Future Market Insights – market research and competitive intelligence provider, the global market value for Locomotive Lighting Batteries has been augmented, owing to the factors such as high expenditure on rail infrastructure including high-speed metro network in emerging economies.

For instance, in 2018, the Indian railways launched a self-propulsion type module sans locomotive capable of running at a very high speed. The trend of engineless as well as a greener transportation forms globally, is making space for battery powered locomotives. Thus, the manufacturers have been developing batteries which are robust and designed to meet the demanding performance requirement of the railways.

Factors such as increased focus towards environmental sustainability goals globally, increase in the number of passengers, particularly in the developing regions, expansion of automotive industry, specifically in the developing economies as well as stringent government norms and regulations, in regards to the pollution emission rate control parameters are anticipated to boost the growth of the locomotive lighting batteries market over the analysis period.

Additionally, improvement in railway infrastructure increases the speed as well as the efficiency of railway systems for freight and passenger transportation. Also, the deployment of an autonomous train needs to be backed up by a large investment. Governments of developing countries are investing heavily, in order to meet the requirements of the latest technology setup required for autonomous trains. Thus, this in turn is expected to foster the market growth during the forecast period.

For instance, as per the report from India Brand Equity Foundation organization, in November 2021, the Indian Railways announced that approximately 102 semi-high-speed Vande Bharat Expresses are expected to begin operations by 2024, with at least 10 new trains scheduled to launch by August 2022, which are estimated to connect 40 cities. The initiative gave a major boost to the Indian Railways on infrastructure modernization. The aforementioned factor is expected to create lucrative avenues for the market growth.

Rise in the electrification of trains, increase in the investments for research and development activities, surge in tourism industry globally, rise in urbanization in the emerging and advanced economies coupled with increasing hybrid rail systems are the other major factors that are likely to bolster the growth of the locomotive lighting batteries market in the forthcoming years.

On the regional end, the Asia Pacific locomotive lighting batteries market is expected to account for the highest share over the analysis period, on the back of factors such as continual surge in public expenditure for the development of railway sector, rising adoption of highly advanced technologies, increasing electrification of railways, strong demand for lithium-ion batteries in India, China, Japan, and South Korea. In addition, growth and expansion of automotive sector in the region, increase in personal disposable income, and increasing research and development activities are anticipated to fuel the regional market growth in the near future.

Recent developments in the technology, mergers and acquisitions, and partnerships within the companies involved in the designing of locomotive lighting batteries are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market growth over the analysis period.

For instance, the Japan Railway Company, in July 2018, had demonstrated its first fully battery-operated Shinkasen N700S train at a press event. Also, a Canadian transportation company Bombardier had re-introduced the battery-powered electro-hybrid train named Bombardier Talent 3 in September 2018.

A train locomotive has several batteries used for different purposes. The locomotive lighting batteries provide power which is required to start the engine and to operate the electronics in the locomotive. When the engine is switched off and the alternator is not running the electrical power for the lights comes from a locomotive lighting batteries just like any other automobile.

In the quest to save energy and conserve fuels efforts are being made to develop completely battery powered locomotives, leading to the development of advanced locomotive lighting batteries and an upgraded battery management system. The safety of railway network also depends on the effective operation of locomotive lighting batteries. Hence batteries play vital role in the locomotive lighting as well as running.

Lead acid batteries generally used in electric locomotives are used for the working of control circuit, indication lamps, protective relays, etc. along with the operation of baby compressor. Heavy duty industrial batteries are used in diesel railway locomotives for starting and operation of a variety of on-board equipment.

The batteries used in locomotive operate under severe environmental conditions such as vibrations, humid atmospheres, high and low temperatures etc. Periodical maintenance is mandatory to ensure reliable operations for longer times.
