The railway transport volume of corrosives in France is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.36 million metric tons in 2024 and reaching 1.23 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year analysis reveals a decrease, with approximately -2.21% from 2024 to 2025, followed by a similar downtrend of -2.26% from 2025 to 2026, and an accelerated decline to -3.08% in 2026 to 2027, reducing slightly to -2.38% by 2028. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual decrease of about -2.53%.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in logistics technology and shifts towards more sustainable transportation methods, which could impact the need for transporting corrosives by rail. Additionally, regulatory changes in chemical handling and environmental policies may also influence transport volumes.
