The railway transport volume for products of wood, cork, straw, plaiting, pulp and paper, printed matter, and recorded media in Italy has been experiencing a consistent decline. From 2024 to 2028, the volume in million tonne kilometers is projected to decrease from 381 to 308, marking a significant downward trend. Comparing 2023 with the projected values, this trend underscores a steady reduction, reflecting a year-on-year compound decrease over the forecasted period.
Looking forward, important trends to watch include the impact of digital transformation reducing the demand for traditional printed materials and media. Additionally, environmental policies encouraging sustainable materials may influence transport volumes. Monitoring these trends will be key for future market positioning and strategies.
