Due to the enhanced functionalities and features of IoT, conventional technologies are being discarded. Along with this, use of cloud-based monitoring technologies is also increasing, as these systems help in conveying signals through IoT, regulating load capacity, and tracking people. Thus, this is expected to support the demand for HVAC systems in rail industry, and create growth opportunities in the market.
Global Train HVAC Market: Restraints
Low awareness regarding advantages of HVAC systems in emerging countries is expected to obstruct growth of the global train HVAC market over the forecast period. The technological development continues to increase in HVAC systems, and it is essential to spread awareness regarding the benefits of new products among end-users. The awareness regarding HVAC systems in terms of their environment related benefits and cost efficiency is low in developing economies, which is likely to impede growth of the market in the near future.
Global Train HVAC Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic:
The Covid-19 epidemic severely impacted various industries around the world. The pandemic affected more than 100 countries worldwide, due to which many of them imposed preventative measures. The pandemic negatively impacted the train HVAC market, as under the lockdown regulations various industrial activities were disrupted. Several manufacturing facilities were closed down temporarily. There was lack of raw material supply and manpower as supply chains and distribution operations were disrupted during the pandemic. Thus, demand for and production of HVAC systems declined significantly during the pandemic and adversely impacted the market growth. However, the market will regain its growth, as the pandemic situation has returned to normal in almost all the regions.
