In 2023, France's non-electrified railway tracks totaled approximately 10.66 thousand kilometers. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a gradual reduction in track length: 10.56 thousand kilometers in 2025, 10.47 in 2026, 10.39 in 2027, and 10.31 by 2028. Year-on-year, these figures imply a consistent decrease of about 0.94% annually. The expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a steady decline at approximately 0.83% per year.
Future trends to monitor include governmental initiatives aimed at rail electrification, policies to upgrade rail infrastructure, and potential shifts in transportation demand that might influence the scope and necessity of non-electrified tracks.
