About this industry
Industry definition
Die Zukunftsaussichten für die Branche sind gut, da der deutsche Staat die Förderung des Schienenverkehrs in Zeiten des Klimawandels forciert. Die Zuschüsse für den Ausbau von Bahnverkehrsstrecken, aber auch die Subventionierungen des Schienennahverkehrs nehmen teilweise deutlich zu, wovon die Branchenakteure direkt und indirekt profitieren. Das Eisenbahnnetz, das weitestgehend im Besitz der DB Netz AG ist, die wiederum eine hundertprozentige Tochtergesellschaft der Deutschen Bahn AG ist und somit indirekt dem deutschen Staat gehört, wird von drei relevanten Gruppen benutzt. Zum einen sind dies Unternehmen im Eisenbahnfernverkehr, die ihren Betrieb ohne Subventionen finanzieren müssen. Die Bahnunternehmen im Nahverkehr erhalten hingegen Subventionen, die Güterbahnen wiederum keine. Allein über die von der DB Netz AG eingenommenen Trassenentgelte ließen sich der Erhalt und der Ausbau des Netzes bei Weitem nicht finanzieren, weswegen staatliche Zuschüsse notwendig sind. Die Straßen- und U-Bahnen profitieren von dem Zuzug der Menschen in die Ballungszentren Deutschlands. Seit 2019 ist der Branchenumsatz im Schnitt um 4,4 % pro Jahr angestiegen und wird 2024 voraussichtlich bei 4,5 Milliarden Euro liegen, 3,8 % über dem Vorjahresniveau.
