Based on fiber type, the rail composites market is segmented on the basis of fiber types as glass fiber, carbon fiber and others. In 2022, glass fiber dominated the global rail composites market in terms of value. Glass fiber composites get widely used in interior components and exterior components application. Rail manufacturers continue to increase the use of glass fibers in various rail components to reduce weight, to improve aesthetic properties, consolidate parts, and so on.
Based on application, the market for rail composites market has been segmented into interior components, exterior components, and other applications. In the rail sector, to increase the speed of rail and bring down fuel and power consumption, reducing the weight of rail carriage is crucial. At the same time, improvement in safety measures is also essential. Many rail manufacturers over the past few decades have incorporated composites extensively in the manufacturing of rail carriages for exterior, interior, as well as other components.
