As of 2023, the modal share of trains in France was at a certain baseline, with the forecast for 2024 remaining consistent at 10.3%. This steadiness persists through 2026, with a slight uptick to 10.4% projected for 2027 and 2028. This indicates a stable yet minimal growth trajectory in train usage as a transportation mode in France over the five-year forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential infrastructure developments or policy changes enhancing rail network efficiency.
Increased environmental awareness potentially boosting public preference for train travel.
Technological advancements in train services, improving convenience and accessibility.
Competitor transportation modes, such as shared mobility and electric vehicles, challenging the growth of train modal share.
