Impact of COVID-19 on Simulated Train Market growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the growth of the simulated train market globally in 2020. During the pandemic crisis, countries worldwide imposed complete lockdowns which caused disruptions in industrial and commercial activities. This led to disruptions in global supply chains which impacted the supply of raw materials for the market. In addition, transport restrictions imposed by governments hampered logistic operations and transport of finished goods. These factors affected market demand during the initial months of 2020. However, post pandemic gradual lifting of lockdowns helped revive market activities.

The market witnessed some revenue decline in 2020 compared to previous years but is expected to recover at a steady pace post pandemic. Simulated train market players are betting on growth opportunities arising from increased government investments in infrastructure development projects focusing on rail networks. Adoption of advanced simulation technologies will also drive growth. Further, rising focus on digital transformation initiatives by transportation companies focusing on remote operations is likely to boost demand for simulated training systems. Overall, while COVID-19 posed short term challenges, the market is anticipated to steadily move towards pre-pandemic levels by 2022 driven by initiatives supporting infrastructure modernization.

Geographical concentration of Simulated Train Market

The simulated train market in terms of revenue is currently concentrated in the Asia Pacific region. This is primarily attributed to large presence of transportation OEMs and simulation technology providers in countries like China, India and Japan. Asia Pacific accounts for over 40% share of the global market revenue currently led by China which is a major hub for rail infrastructure development activities. North America and Western Europe are other prominent regional markets driven by technology adoption.

Fastest growing region for Simulated Train Market

The Asia Pacific region, especially China and India, is anticipated to emerge as the fastest growing regional market for simulated trains during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. This high growth will be fuelled by rising government investments towards developing and modernizing rail transportation facilities across emerging economies. In addition, increasing use of digital technologies in training operations is expected to drive regional market demand. Rapid industrialization and continued urbanization will further boost the need for advanced simulation systems in Asia Pacific, making it the dynamic growth leader for the simulated train market globally.
