NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The North America - rail freight transportation market size is expected to grow by USD 42.88 billion from 2022 to 2027. However, the growth momentum of the market will decelerate at a CAGR of 7.47% during the forecast period. The market is segmented by end-user (petroleum and chemical, coal, metals and minerals, agriculture products, and others), mode of transportation (freight cars, tank wagons, and intermodal), and geography (US, Canada, and Mexico). The low transportation cost of freight is a key factor driving market growth. Compared with other transport modes, rail freight services are less costly and more efficient due to their ability to carry large volumes of cargo over longer distances. It is employed in the transport of agricultural products, for example, grains. In addition, Canada's National Railway is the main railway operator for shipments of farm products throughout the Prairie. Canadian Pacific and CP Rail are also important railroad operators in this region. They're shipping at a competitive price for grains and other agricultural products. They also provide various value-added services such as logistics, supply chain management, and marketing. Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. The report analyses the market size and growth and provides accurate predictions on the growth of the market. View a Free PDF Sample

Market Dynamics:

  • In rail freight transport, the use of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies can be instrumental in increasing efficiencies, reducing costs, and improving safety.
  • Furthermore, advanced track electrification projects, which are based on the next generation technologies to electricize railways and traffic signals, have been invested in by the governments of the US and Canada.
  • For example, Canadian railways use Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things technologies across their networks to improve predictive maintenance, train route planning, and fuel efficiency.
  • Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Challenge

  • The growing competition from alternate freight services is a significant challenge restricting market growth.
  • Some alternative freight services may include road, air, and ocean transport.
