In 2023, the share of motorways in Italy's road network was 2.90%. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a slight decline, with a share of 2.89% in 2024, gradually decreasing to 2.83% by 2028. The year-on-year decline is subtle, around 0.2 percentage points each year. Over this forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately -0.58%, indicating a steady but small contraction in motorway share relative to the total road network.
Future trends to watch include infrastructure investments and policy changes that could influence the expansion or maintenance of motorways. Environmental considerations and technological advancements in transportation may also play a role in shaping the road network's future configuration.
