The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is approximately 1.92%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in railway logistics, the potential for increased cross-border trade, and the environmental policies that could drive higher reliance on rail transport due to its lower carbon footprint compared to other modes of transport.
