The railway transport volume of gases in Italy is anticipated to decrease slightly from 2024 onwards, with values moving from an estimated 1.08 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.02 million metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, which served as a basis for these projections, this marks a continuing downward trend.
Year-on-year percentage variations show a gradual reduction:
- 2025: -1.85%
- 2026: -0.94%
- 2027: -1.90%
- 2028: -0.97%
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five forecasted years is approximately -1.43%, indicating a sustained negative growth trend.
Future trends worth monitoring include fluctuations in industrial demand for gases and the impact of potential policy changes on transportation efficiency and sustainability in Italy's rail system.
