The forecasted production value of freight rail transport in France is expected to decline significantly from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production value was recorded much higher compared to the forecasted figures. The forecast predicts a steady decrease as follows: a drop of 9% from 2024 to 2025, a further 9.8% decline by 2026, followed by a 10.7% decrease to 2027, and finally an 11.6% drop reaching 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecasted period indicates a consistent average annual reduction.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from technological advancements in logistics, shifting transport policies toward sustainability, increased competition from other modes of transport, and the influence of macroeconomic factors such as trade volumes and fuel prices. These elements may affect the downward trend or potentially stabilize production values in the long term.
