Gangways facilitate seamless passenger movement between cars, enhancing convenience and promoting the use of rail transit in densely populated areas. For instance, in April 2023, HÜBNER, a German company, aimed to build equipment for the Vande Bharat trains in India. The company launched a new factory near Bangalore, which will produce 5,000 flexible connectors called gangways for the Vande Bharat trains, metro rails, and other applications.

Innovations enhancing safety and passenger experience are driving growth in the rail gangway market. Manufacturers are developing advanced gangway systems equipped with features such as automated doors, real-time monitoring, and ergonomic design. These innovations ensure smoother passenger transitions between cars, reduce the risk of accidents, and improve overall comfort. Enhanced safety and passenger experience contribute to the increased demand for modernized rail transit solutions globally.

High development costs present a significant downside for the rail gangway market. Designing and engineering high-performance transmission systems require substantial investments in research & testing and specialized expertise. These costs can strain manufacturer budgets, particularly for smaller companies or those entering the market. Moreover, the need for continuous innovation to stay competitive further escalates development expenses. Managing these high costs while maintaining profitability poses a challenge for manufacturers in the market.
