The volume of goods transported by railway in Spain is projected to decrease gradually from 24.51 million metric tons in 2024 to 23.77 million metric tons by 2028. This indicates a declining trend year-on-year, with a consistent decrease each year. From 2023, the volumes indicate a contraction, revealing potential industry challenges or shifts in logistic preferences. The year-on-year variation shows a slight but consistent decline, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that reflects a steady downturn over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch include advancements in railway technology, potential changes in regulatory policies, and shifts in economic conditions which could impact the logistics sector. Additionally, the rise of alternative transport methods such as electric trucks and drones could further influence the demand for railway transport in Spain.
