Train seats are a form of bench used for sitting, which may or may not be with cushion. These seats define occupancies in trains, which thereby improves passenger comfort and convenience during the course of journey. Expanding urban train infrastructure and improving business productivity in large & dense cities across the globe will positively encourage seat demand in the sector. Moving large volumes of passengers across dense cities will not only reduce congestion but also save valuable space and generate broader economic benefits such as agglomeration effects.
Substantial investments and active government participation in new railway projects will increase product penetration in the sector. In November 2020, the U.S. High Speed Rail Association (USHSR) released a “5-Point High Speed Rail Plan”, a project list with a major investment and focus on high-speed rail across the region. Furthermore, the introduction of new trains will also surge the industry growth during the forecast timeline.
Volatile raw material prices along with high railway infrastructure investments are major challenges for the train seat market expansion over the coming years. Nevertheless, a positive outlook for high-speed trains coupled with a lower impact on the environment compared to other modes of transport owing to reduced gas emissions and low energy consumption will catalyze the market progression in the coming years.
