The track geometry measurement system (TGMS) is a key parameter of track condition. A track geometry measurement system is widely used to measure the condition of a railway track to avoid any detrimental effects on freight and passengers. TGMS offers reliable and precise track data for short-term as well as long-maintenance scheduling to avoid any harmful effects.

The growing need for safety and security in railway transportation and the rise in metro lines and railway networks are some key factors propelling industry growth. Numerous accidents and mishaps involving trains have raised concerns across the globe and are prompting governments to digitize the mode of transport to ensure a safer journey. In addition, the rising demand for smart technologies to maintain the operational efficiency of tracks is further augmenting industry growth.

The track geometry measurement system market has good opportunities, which include the growing demand for safety in railway transport and the growing number of railways and metro lines, the need to use smart technologies to improve the efficiency of track work.
 
The key challenges in the Track Geometry Measurement System (TGMS) market include: 

1. Accounting for measurement error when operating in difficult track sections such as curves, inclines/extensive grade, and high-speed rail.
2. Integrating sensors such as IMUs, odometry, and laser scanners to achieve the acquisition of track geometry data.
3. Designing intelligent algorithms to process large amounts of data from track geometry data in an efficient way and extract useful information.
4. The disadvantage of contact-based measurement systems is their damaging effect on the track surface as well as the rolling stock.
5. Meeting the strict safety stipulations as required by railways in different nations.

All these questions demonstrate that further development in track geometry measurement systems is possible only through the collaboration of TGMS manufacturers, railway operators, and research institutions.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak has moderately affected the track geometry measurement system industry. Rising coronavirus cases across the globe resulted in stringent social distancing and lockdown norms across the globe, which led to supply chain disruption, thus affecting product demand. There was a decline in passenger railway travel as well as non-essential goods, which affected product demand.
