The projected international rail freight volume loaded nationally in Italy is set to grow consistently from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 5.1 to 5.63 billion tonne kilometers. In 2023, this volume stood slightly lower, marking the beginning of a gradual upward trend. The year-on-year growth rates illustrate a stable increase, approximately 2.5% annually. The five-year CAGR, from 2023 to 2028, reflects a steady growth trajectory that the Italian rail freight industry is poised to maintain.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in logistics and rail systems, potential shifts towards more sustainable transport solutions, and the influence of European Union regulations on cross-border freight movement. Additionally, economic variables and geopolitical events could further affect the growth projection.
