Overall, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period suggests a consistent average reduction in freight volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Sustainable transportation initiatives that could shift modes of freight transportation.
- Technological advancements in the manufacturing of man-made fibers and chemicals, potentially impacting both production scale and logistics needs.
- Economic factors such as trade agreements or disruptions that could influence freight dynamics and demand for these products.
