Railway Platform Security Market Size

The global railway platform security market generated USD 1.7 billion in 2019 and is projected to surpass USD 2.5 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.6%.

Mass transit plays an extremely essential role in human life around the world, and this significance will only intensify as the population ages. Nevertheless, the transit sector has become increasingly prone to security threats in the past few years. Among the most, difficult challenges are safeguarding railway stations, where the rail sector must secure passengers, personnel, commodities, equipment, and assets from potential attacks. Managing them is tough due to the numerous places that must be supervised, including railroads, subterranean passages, bicycling and automotive parking areas, residences, baggage storage areas, and idle railway cars and locomotives.

Efforts are underway in the construction, expansion, and modernization of train stations, just as it is in many other sectors of life. Since most train stations have no mobility limits, sophisticated procedures for detecting all areas are necessary. Staff and passengers can have faith in the integrity of train stations and the railway system once these impediments are lifted. The rising number of suicides, the growing requirement to reduce the risk of unlawful access to platforms, and the increasing demands for additional support and advanced security management solutions are all projected to fuel market expansion.

The market is expected to develop due to factors such as the growing requirement to reduce the risk of illegal access to platforms and the rising demand for extra assistance and advanced security management solutions. Railway platform security mechanisms are also frequently used in railway traffic management to reduce vehicular accidents bottlenecks. The industry is estimated to boost as a result of government measures to enhance traffic management systems and passenger comfort. Also, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are now being integrated into information and communication technologies to give extremely effective mobility services, such as traffic control and many others, providing novel security measures to tackle contemporary problems.

The absence of awareness about the benefits and risks regarding the deployment of these systems is hampering market expansion. Railway platform security firms are continuously contending with real security threats throughout the execution of affordable and robust cloud services.

Railway Platform Security Market: By Component

The components are divided into two categories: solutions and services. The services segment, among the components, is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 6% over the forecast timeframe. The railway platform security solutions aid in the real-time detection and management of activities taking place on the platform. Further, underneath services, the professional services segment had a greater market share. Professional services are the services provided by professionals, specialists, or experts to assist organizations.

Professional services include design and implementation, and also ongoing maintenance. Professionals employ the most up-to-date techniques, comprehensive tactics, and expertise to ensure that the proper security solutions for railway platforms are implemented. They can also help with the deployment of security solutions by following industry best practices. Platform security systems' performance can be determined from how effectively technology is administered and how personnel throughout firms use agile methodologies in their regular tasks.

The platform edge doors/platform screen doors sector will increase at the fastest rate among solutions during the projected timeframe. Platform screen doors and platform edge doors conceal main terminal from carriage at rail and subways. They are a recent addition to several metro systems across the world, with some being renovated into existing systems. They are prevalent in Asian and European subway systems. Such systems are typically necessary if temperature control is the prime purpose, but they also provide security benefits as a bonus. PEDs are yet another type of system which does not entirely isolate the platform from the track. Rather, the PED design produces a full-height or half-height obstacle all along the platform edge, and it does so even without an airflow seal which is essential for optimal temperature control.

Railway Platform Security Market: By Type

By type, the industry is categorized into Trains and Subways. The trains segment is expected to expand at a faster pace. Rising ridership and limited resources, transit and rail systems must adapt to their dynamic environment and ensure safe and secure mobility solutions. External threats are increasingly infiltrating modern railway systems. Until recently, targeted attacks against control and safety systems were only envisaged on a rudimentary level. Due to an increase in external attacks and the potential for damage, these are no longer minor concerns and must be addressed fully to accommodate new technical breakthroughs. This progress is aided by the continuous digitalization and standardization of control command and signalling systems, which is motivated by railway operators' desire for improved performance and cheaper interlocking component prices. As a result, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components are becoming more common in the development of safety-critical components. Furthermore, conventional commercial network equipment and protocols are used, and the systems are connected via backbone networks to allow a single control center to control many track sections.
