In 2023, the volume of goods transported by railway transport in Switzerland stood at 11.22 billion tonne kilometers. Based on forecasts, this volume is projected to reach 11.25 billion tonne kilometers in 2024, representing a year-on-year growth of 0.27%. By 2025, it is expected to increase slightly to 11.28 billion tonne kilometers, marking another modest rise of 0.27%. This trend continues with incremental increases each year, leading to 11.39 billion tonne kilometers in 2028.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is 0.25%. This indicates a very stable and slow upward trend in railway transport volumes, showcasing consistent but minimal growth across the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in railway technologies, shifts in regulatory frameworks, and potential environmental policies aimed at promoting sustainable transportation. Additionally, competition from other modes of transport such as road or air and macroeconomic factors like trade agreements and industrial growth could significantly influence these projections.
