In 2023, France's international railway passenger traffic stood at 8.49 billion passenger kilometers. Forecasts indicate a steady increase, with projected values reaching 8.82 billion in 2024 and 10.21 billion by 2028. This represents an annual growth rate, or CAGR, of approximately 4.7%. Notably, the year-on-year growth percentages are approximately 3.97% from 2024 to 2025, 3.81% from 2025 to 2026, 3.57% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.55% from 2027 to 2028.

Growing demand for sustainable transport is likely to drive this increase.
Investments in high-speed rail networks and cross-border connections may amplify volume growth.
Economic conditions and shifts in tourism trends could impact future forecasts.
