Focusing on expansive and profitable market segments
Train: substantial new investments are underway to safeguard and modernize rolling stock fleets. Meanwhile, sustainable rail freight is growing. The estimated value of the global market is some 50 billion USD, increasing to 65 billion USD by 2025. Ependion collaborates with several of the world’s leading train builders, and has strong positioning.
Trackside: trackside includes railtrack and systems, including trackwork and stations, where secure and reliable communication between trains and their surroundings is critical. As for trains, investments are increasing in trackside, with the Biden administration’s allocation of over 60 [TP1] billion USD to regenerate the US rail network being a clear example.
Energy: in the energy sector, electrification and the need to modernize are driving major investments in more powerful grids, storage and more intelligent control. Vehicle electrification is driving investments in charging infrastructure across much of the world. Forecasts indicate that global investment in power grids needs to increase from 260 to 820 billion USD yearly by 2030 to make the 1.5°C target of global temperature rise achievable.
Manufacturing: the primary drivers of investments in manufacturing are the digitalization and connectivity of machinery and process stages in product manufacture. This translates into shorter lead-times, fewer faults and more flexibility, but requires substantial investment in networks for communicating large data volumes and HMIs that can make this data accessible.
Marine sector: as global trade has expanded, so has the need for modern and resource-efficient vessels. Investments in the marine sector are also being increasingly driven by sustainability standards. Data volumes are increasing in this segment too, as is the need for networks and connectivity to monitor and control various functionality.
Infrastructure: infrastructure is about investment in better conditions for road and rail transport, but also key societal functions like waste water, water supply, power and energy networks. This means the need for leading-edge monitoring, control and analysis technology to enable secure and effective operations.
