Abstract

The global passenger-rail market is expanding steadily on the back of rising urbanisation, decarbonisation policies and recovery-driven public-investment programmes. This article examines the competitiveness landscape of the sector and identifies actionable opportunities for its improvement. The findings show that competitiveness depends on a dynamic interaction of four vectors—innovation depth, supply-chain resilience, customer-centric lifecycle services and policy-enabled market access. The study contributes to strategic-management literature by integrating technological and institutional lenses and offers rail-policy makers a roadmap for fostering globally integrated, environmentally sustainable passenger-wagon clusters.
