China Railway Industry Investment Opportunities Indepth Research Report

This report will have an indepth analysis on the development status of China railway in five parts. The first part will analyze the development status of the railway network construction, including roadbed construction, railroad track market, and station construction; the second part will analyze the railway vehicles, railway passenger cars, railway freight cars, railway passenger cars' accessories, and railway vehicles’ maintenance; the third part will analyze the railway transportation and informationization construction; the fourth part will analyze the competitive landscape of railway industry; the fifth part will analyze the prospects forecast of China’s railway which will emphasize the industry investment, suggestion, development trend and prospects forecast. Meanwhile, together with the comprehensive and detailed market data which is accumulated for 5 years, Forward helps you to grasp the market and development trends of railway industry, so as to win advantages from competiti

In 2010 the nationwide railway operating mileage is 910,000 km which ranks the second in the world and the high-speed railway operating mileage reaches 8,358 km which ranks the first fastest construction speed in the world and. In the meantime, the compound line and electrification ratio of China railway is increasing. By the end of 2010 the compound line mileage of China railway is 37,300 km with a compound line ratio of 41% (up 2.2% comparing with that of last year); the electrification mileage is 42,000 km with an electrification ratio of 46%, up 6,000 km and 4.3% comparing with that of last year. In 2011, there are 70 planed new railway projects in China, among which there are 15 projects of high-speed railway and interurban railway; 26 projects of interregional primary routes and coal transport channels. The major high-speed railways are Beijing-Shenyang, Beijing-Zhangjiajie-Huhehaote and Hang-huang while the major common-speed ralways are Xiyin, Qingdao-rizhao-lianyungan, ku’er’le-ge’er’mu, and Jiujiang-jingdezheng-quzhou.

It is predicted that the running railway mileage will reach over 120,000 km by 2015. There will be an accelerating construction of “four vertical and four horizontal” high-speed railway major network, the high-speed railway which connected to the major network, and the intercity high-speed railway. There will be 1,015 new and rebuilding railway passenger stations while the large-scale railway construction will keep going. Moreover, the new running mileage of urban track traffic will be 6,560 km by 2020 and becomes a new popular investment of large-scale railway construction. All the factors mentioned above provide huge development space for domestic infrastructure business.

The railway industrial chain includes station project, post-station project and vehicles, etc. The new line construction reaches the peak in current years. And after the year of 2013 the planning lines and infrastructure investment will reduce. Then follows the construction peak of post-station project that will transfer from infrastructure to equipment and vehicle investment. With the railway speed increase and high-speed railway large-scale construction, the requirement for safety and stability is increasing. And the post-project means especially important for the safety and efficient operation of the whole system as well as management and service. The post-project generally takes 10% to 20% of the fixed asset investment.

With the launch of road-network construction in large scale and high-speed rail line opening to traffic, the enormous demand of multiple unit train and high-power locomotive will be booming that the purchasing investment on them will be sharply raise. By the end of 2010, the inventory of multiple unit train is 420 while the number of daily working multiple unit train is 1,200. In 2010 the investment of railway equipment is more than 100 billion Yuan, up 28% comparing with that in 2009. And the number of commissioning multiple unit train is 172 while that of the high-power locomotive is 1,700, that of 25G600V passenger train is 2,000, that of 70/80 ton general freight train exceeds 30,000 and that of large road maintenance is 11. Meanwhile, the investment of accessories and operation maintenance will increase together with the owning amount of rolling stock. The train accessories (including axel, wheel, and brake block) as well as maintenance investment will double within 5 years. The construction of railway informationization will be carried through the railway construction. It is the key facility to ensure the modernization and safe operation of railway. With the fastening railway construction, the railway informationization industry will maintain a fast growth in the coming years.

In 2010, there is a booming increase on passenger transportation volume in China that passenger traffic volume is 1.68 billion which up 9.9% while the freight volume is 3.63 billion tons which up 9.3%. According to the “twelfth five years” plan for Ministry of Railway, by 2015 the railway passenger capacity will be 3 billion while the freight capacity will be 4.8 billion tons, and equivalent ton-kilometerage volume will be 5.1 trillion tons/km. The growth rate for them compare with that in 2010 is 78.6%, 32.2% and 41.7%. The Ministry of Railway predicts that by 2015 the passenger traffic volume will be about 3 billion while it will be 5 billion by 2020. In other words, the annual growth rate of railway passenger traffic volume during the “twelfth five years” is 12.35% which is far higher than 2.58% during the “ninth five years” and 7.75% during the “tenth five years”. The growth of railway passenger transportation will reach a relative peak.

Consequently, there are five prospective development and investment opportunities for railway industry during the “twelfth five years”. However, fierce competition will come along. Therefore, the outstanding domestic railway corporations pay more and more attention to the industry market research, especially the in-depth research of product consumers. Because of this, a large number of excellent domestic railway brands rise up rapidly, then gradually become leaders in railway industry!

With Forward’s the long-term tracking and collecting market data of railway industry, we roundly and accurately analyze the structure system for you from the view of mastering the whole industry. This report will base on the macro condition of current railway industry, production and marketing condition, industry demand trend of auto industry, then detailed analyzes the current market capability, market scale, development speed and competitive landscape of China railway industry.

This report will have an indepth analysis on the development status of China railway in five parts. The first part will analyze the development status of the railway network construction, including roadbed construction, railroad track market, and station construction; the second part will analyze the railway vehicles, railway passenger cars, railway freight cars, railway passenger cars' accessories, and railway vehicles’ maintenance; the third part will analyze the railway transportation and informationization construction; the fourth part will analyze the competitive landscape of railway industry; the fifth part will analyze the prospects forecast of China’s railway which will emphasize the industry investment, suggestion, development trend and prospects forecast.

Major characteristics of this report are forward-looking and timeliness. Base on the forward-looking analysis of massive research data, we further analyze the development scale and competitive landscape of railway industry. Along with the industry development route and our practical experience, we analyze and predict the future development prospect of railway industry. This report is of a high value for enterprises like railway construction corporations, railway equipment producing corporations, R&D institutions, service corporations and investment corporations to accurately know the latest industry development trend, and obtain market opportunities and determine an insightful operation strategy and development direction.

Here, we’d like to express our sincere gratitude to National Statistics Bureau of China, International Information Institute, National Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, National Tsing Hua University Library, Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, and Beijing Qinghua Forward Market Research Center, etc. Thank you so much!
