Bullet train/High-speed rail is an advanced railway transport that operates faster than traditional rail traffic. Globally, there is no single speed standard to term high-speed rail, new high speed train with speed of 250 kmph & above and existing train with speed of 200 kmph & above are widely considered to be high-speed rail. Bullet train/High-speed rail uses an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks to achieve high speed. Bullet train/High-speed rail works on the maglev principle. Maglev is short for magnetic levitation, which means that these trains are expected to float over a guideway using the basic principles of magnets to replace the old steel wheel and track trains.
Increase in demand for bullet train/high-speed rail is largely due to its accuracy and ability to cover large geographic distances in a short time. This is expected to be a prime factor driving the bullet train/high-speed rail market during the forecast period. Increasing government support across the world for incorporation of fast trains, as they are economical, safe, and a rapid means of transport, is expected to boost the bullet train/high-speed rail market during the forecast period. By 2018, high-speed trains are expected to be operating in nearly 24 countries, including China, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the U.S., up from only 19 countries presently.
Research across the world has revealed that the number of countries incorporating the bullet train/high-speed rail is expected to nearly double over the next few years. Bullet train/high-speed rail is expected to incorporate sophisticated technologies to augment safety operation due to advancements and progression in automation in the railway industry. This, in turn, is projected to make the trains more reliable and is expected to lead to a reduction of both cost of travel and travel time. These benefits are likely to provide lucrative opportunities to the bullet train/high-speed rail market. Higher construction and maintenance cost of high speed rail tracks is expected to hamper the bullet train/high-speed rail market, especially in underdeveloped or developing countries.
