In 2023, Germany leads in railway transport volume of chemical-related products with 7.55 billion tonne kilometers despite a slight decline. Lithuania and Poland follow with positive growth rates. France shows a notable decrease, whereas Bulgaria stands out with a significant increase. Conversely, Latvia and Romania faced substantial declines. The UK's increase is noteworthy, benefiting from a focus on sustainable transport. However, Norway and Greece faced the steepest declines, with transport halting entirely.
For future trends, watch for significant shifts driven by Europe's green transition, innovations in sustainable logistics, and potential geopolitical influences affecting trade routes and volume distribution. Emphasis on environmental policies may drive growth in cleaner transport options.
