The volume of oxidising substances transported by railway in France is projected to decrease steadily from 579 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 466 thousand metric tons in 2028. In 2023, the volume stood higher than predicted for 2024. This projected decline indicates a year-on-year decrease, with the most recent data reflecting a consistent downward trajectory. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period suggests an average yearly reduction, reflecting shrinking demand or potential shifts to alternative transportation methods.
Future trends to watch for include the increasing adoption of green logistics strategies, potential regulatory changes impacting hazardous material transport, and advancements in alternative transport technology that could influence overall transport volumes and dynamics within the rail sector.
