Platform screen doors (PSD) are automatically operated doors used in subways and elevated metro train platforms to cut-off or hide the platform from the railway. Platform screen doors are also available in the global market as PSD doors and play a vital role in the conservation of energy in the railway sector.
These doors are installed for passenger security purposes, as they only open when the metro train stops at the station. Moreover, a single unit of platform screen door comprises of two digital displays and two emergency exit doors, which can be operated manually. In this global study, PMR has assumed that platform screen doors are installed only on one side of a metro train platform.
The global platform screen doors market has been continuously studied with a deep understanding of the macro and forecast factors to provide deep analysis to clients. Rising automation in rapid mass transit is projected to drive the global demand for platform screen doors over the coming period.
The global platform screen doors market is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of ~ 7.0%, and is estimated to reach a value of ~ US$ 1,800 Mn by the end of the forecast period. Moreover, in the global study of platform screen doors, PMR considers only the new sales of platform screen doors across the historical and forecast period.
By product type, the global platform screen doors market is categorized into full height, semi height, and half height. The full height segment is projected to register a significant business opportunity over the slated time period. In addition, the increasing number of underground metro train platforms, coupled with rising awareness pertaining to automated technology for metro trains, is also estimated to accelerate the sales of platform screen doors over the stipulated time period.
Moreover, regional governments are also interested in investing a significant amount on the development of new metro train stations, which is projected to bolster the sales of platform screen doors over the coming decades. Furthermore, the retrofitting of platform screen doors for old metro train stations is also projected to significantly boost the sales of platform screen doors over the forecast period.
The new metro train segment is anticipated to gain noteworthy traction in the global platform screen doors market owing to significant growth in the number of automated metro trains across the world. Moreover, rising digitalization in the existing metro train network is also a vital driver of the global platform screen doors market over the coming decades.
