The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the specialised freight trucking market in 2020 as governments imposed lockdowns and restricted the movement of people and goods to contain the transmission. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak harmed businesses throughout 2020 and 2021. However, it is expected that the specialized freight trucking market will recover from the shock. Truck transportation companies are widely using collision mitigation technology to reduce the loss of lives and damage associated with accidents. The collision mitigation system detects the impending strike and alerts the driver about any collision. These systems are installed within the vehicle and, in the event of an imminent accident, they can take action automatically without the driver’s input. These systems are becoming a standard inbuilt feature on many new trucks in many countries globally. For instance, according to US Department of Transportation data, twenty automakers pledged to voluntarily equip virtually all new passenger vehicles by 2022 with a low-speed AEB system that includes forward collision warning (FCW), technology proven to help prevent and mitigate front-to-rear crashes. The agency stated that this could prevent nearly 2000 crashes every year.

This freight car market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global freight cars market size will grow from $167.96 billion in 2022 to $176.19 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global freight cars market size is expected to grow to $208.45 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.3%. Government initiatives are expected to boost the freight car market's growth. For instance, in September 2021, the Indian government think tank Niti Aayog, launched the "Shoonya" initiative, which aims to fully electrify fleet vehicles in the urban freight sector within the next two years, as part of a massive effort to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and build an ecosystem for them in the nation. Therefore, the steps taken by the government to increase rail freight will increase the demand for freight cars' market growth during the period. Stringent regulation regarding import and export is one of the major challenges to the growth of the freight car market. Rail freight transportation would decrease as a result of strict rules over trade, which would decrease the demand for freight cars. In 2020, the Customs department of India imposed stringent rules on the free-trade agreement import of white goods to check undue dumping of these commodities under FTAs from non-producing countries. It aims to check the misuse of relaxation under free-trade agreements. India is also eager to implement new planned regulations to boost domestic manufacturing by reducing imports, with the goal of reducing the amount of lower-quality imports from China. Therefore, stringent rules posed by the government over trade are expected to hinder the freight car market growth during the forecast period. Freight cars are now enabled with GPS tracking and this is likely to be an emerging trend in the freight car market. The efficiency of freight car transport will be augmented with the use of advanced GPS technologies. Rail operators' incorporation of GPS technologies into freight cars aids in managing the transport process, scheduling freight cars, maintaining a consistent delivery process, and reducing freight car theft. For instance, in June 2022, Indian Railways began real-time monitoring of trains (passenger and freight) using the Control Office Application (COA) system. The COA was designed by ISRO after collaborating with the Indian Railways to monitor the movement of freight cars even between two stations with GPS. Therefore, the demand for freight cars is expected to be increased with the incorporation of certain criteria such as real-time data and on-time deliveries.
