❖ レポートの概要 ❖
日本の鉄道市場は2024年に199億米ドル規模に達し、2033年には303億米ドルに拡大する見込みで、2025～2033年の年平均成長率は4.8％と予測されています。人口密集地域における通勤需要、都市間高速移動ニーズ、貨物輸送の効率化、そして政府による巨額のインフラ投資や環境配慮政策が市場を後押ししています。特に東京や大阪といった大都市圏の通勤鉄道網、高速鉄道（新幹線）、地方鉄道網の整備拡張が重要な成長要因です。
政府と鉄道事業者による設備投資は規模が大きく、例えばJR東海は2025年度に連結ベースで6,740億円、単体で6,300億円の投資を計画しており、高速鉄道網の拡充や最新技術導入を進めています。環境負荷低減の観点からも電化・再生可能エネルギー導入、回生ブレーキ技術などが普及しつつあり、鉄道は持続可能な輸送モードとしての地位を強化しています。2025年には東海道新幹線の防音壁に太陽光パネルを設置する再エネプロジェクトも始動予定です。
市場動向としては、高速鉄道の拡大が象徴的で、2024年時点で新幹線網は3,000km超をカバーし、都市間移動を短縮しています。また、地方鉄道網の整備は地域経済振興や観光促進に寄与し、都市部への集中を緩和する役割も担っています。訪日観光客の地方分散にも有効であり、地域開発政策とも連動しています。
市場セグメントでは、貨物輸送と旅客輸送が両輪を構成。貨物鉄道は農産物、原材料、工業製品など大量輸送で強みを発揮し、環境負荷低減や道路混雑解消の観点から政策的にも支援されています。旅客鉄道は新幹線を中心に通勤・都市間移動で欠かせないインフラであり、正確性、安全性、利便性の高さから国内外で高く評価されています。長距離輸送では新幹線が中核を担い、短距離輸送は都市圏の通勤鉄道や地下鉄が重要な役割を果たしています。
エンドユース別には、鉱業・建設・農業分野での鉄道利用が目立ちます。鉱業では鉱石・石炭輸送、建設では鋼材・セメント輸送、農業では米や野菜などの生鮮品輸送に鉄道が活用され、サプライチェーン効率化と安定供給に寄与しています。
地域別にみると、関東が最大市場で、東京を中心に通勤・物流両面で突出した需要があります。関西（近畿）は大阪を軸に製造業や通勤需要が高く、中部は名古屋を拠点とする自動車産業や物流で重要。九州・沖縄は観光と物流、東北は農産物輸送と観光、北海道は長距離輸送と季節的観光需要、中国・四国は地域連結と産業支援で鉄道の役割が大きいです。
競争環境は公的・民間事業者が混在し、技術革新やサービス品質向上が競争軸となっています。2024年にはJR東日本が自動運転新幹線を2028年度に導入予定と発表、JR東海はAWSを用いて山梨リニア実験線の運行効率化を推進、北海道鉄道は観光列車に112億ドル規模を投資するなど、最新技術と新サービス開発が活発です。さらに阪急・住友・JICAによるマニラ鉄道運営参画や、日立による仏タレス社の鉄道信号事業買収など、海外展開も進展しています。
総じて、日本の鉄道市場は都市部の過密輸送と地方連結、旅客・貨物の両輪、環境配慮と技術革新のバランスを背景に、堅調かつ持続的な成長が期待されています。2033年には3,000億ドル規模に達し、交通・物流インフラの中核として経済成長と社会基盤整備に寄与し続ける見通しです。 |
The Japan railroad market size was valued at USD 19.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 30.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.8% from 2025-2033. The market is driven by robust need for both freight and passenger transportation, and rapid technological innovations. Additionally, substantial government investments in infrastructure and sustainability initiatives are driving the growth of the market.
The Japan railroad industry is propelled by a rising demand for efficient and dependable transportation solutions. Japan’s dense population, particularly in urban areas like Tokyo and Osaka, necessitates seamless and high-frequency rail services. For instance, as per industry reports, in 2024, Tokyo has emerged as the most populous city globally, with more than 37 million of population. Furthermore, the high-speed Shinkansen, or bullet train, network plays a vital role in addressing the demand for rapid intercity travel, while urban transit systems support daily commuting needs. Additionally, Japan’s focus on enhancing the convenience and accessibility of rail services, coupled with technological advancements, ensures that the sector continues to meet the evolving demands of both passengers and businesses.
Government investment in the development and modernization of Japan’s rail infrastructure serves as a significant market driver. For instance, in 2024, JR Central, a prominent Japan-based railway company, announced its capital investment for FY 2025, with 674.0 billion yen allocated for the consolidated group and 630.0 billion yen for the non-consolidated investment. With ongoing efforts to expand high-speed rail networks and integrate advanced technologies, the government continues to promote rail transport as a sustainable and efficient alternative to road and air travel. Moreover, investments also support the transition to eco-friendly rail systems, such as fully electrified networks and the integration of renewable energy sources. These initiatives not only enhance the environmental sustainability of the rail sector but also contribute to economic growth by improving connectivity and fostering regional development.
