The forecasted volume of railway transport for textiles, textile products, leather, and leather products in Italy shows a significant downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 85,000 metric tons in 2024, the volume is expected to decrease to 26,000 metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a considerable annual decrease, following a year-on-year decline: -17.65% from 2024 to 2025, -21.43% from 2025 to 2026, -27.27% from 2026 to 2027, and -35.0% from 2027 to 2028. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a significant average annual reduction.
Future trends to watch include changes in consumer preferences towards locally sourced products, shifts in global trade policies impacting import and export dynamics in Italy, and technological innovations in the logistics sector that might alter the economics of railway transport. Monitoring sustainability initiatives might also offer more insights into how transportation methods and volumes might evolve.
