In 2023, the passenger-kilometers of waterways in China stood at a certain value, providing a baseline for future projections. From 2024 to 2028, we see a consistent upward trend in the forecasted data, beginning at 82.05 hundred million passenger kilometers in 2024 and rising to 83.43 by 2028. Each year shows a positive growth in passenger-kilometers, highlighting a steady increase in the utilization of waterways for passenger transport.
Future trends to watch for:
- Innovation in vessel technology enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions, potentially increasing passenger numbers.
- Integration of waterways with other transport networks, improving accessibility and appeal.
- Government policies and investments aimed at promoting waterway transportation to alleviate congestion on other transport modes.
