Market Overview
Australia is investing heavily in urban rail infrastructure, with major projects across its largest cities. In Sydney, the Metro network is expanding with the City and Southwest and Western Sydney Airport lines. Melbourne is constructing the Metro Tunnel and planning the Suburban Rail Loop. Brisbane delivered Cross River Rail ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Perth is extending its Metronet programme. Australia's long-distance freight rail corridors, operated by Aurizon and Pacific National, are critical for mining exports. The Inland Rail project, a 1,700-km freight corridor between Melbourne and Brisbane, is under construction. Australia is a significant market for rolling stock from Alstom, Bombardier (Alstom), CRRC, and CAF, as well as signalling and rail technology systems.
