The forecast data for outgoing international transport of empty containers and swap bodies in Italy indicates a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 135.88 thousand TEUs in 2024, the volumes are expected to decrease year-on-year by approximately 1.27% to 134.15 thousand TEUs in 2025, 1.28% to 132.43 thousand TEUs in 2026, 1.29% to 130.73 thousand TEUs in 2027, and 1.30% to 129.05 thousand TEUs in 2028. Given the consistency of this trend, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years shows a steady average annual decline of about 1.28%.
In 2023, the actual value stood at 137.62 thousand TEUs, demonstrating an evident pattern of reduction moving forward into the forecast period. This decline suggests potential impacts from shifts in global trade dynamics, changing demand patterns, and potential efficiency improvements in container utilization and logistics.
Future trends to watch for include the gradual adoption of advanced logistics technologies, regulatory changes, and evolving international trade agreements that could significantly influence container traffic volumes. Additionally, monitoring global economic conditions will be crucial for understanding the underlying factors driving these trends.
