In 2023, the length of double non-electrified railway tracks in France was recorded at 2.76 thousand kilometers. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a slight annual decrease, stabilizing at 2.72 thousand kilometers by 2028. Between 2024 and 2028, the year-on-year reduction is minimal, around 0.36% to 0.30%, indicating a trend of gradual contraction. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) based on this range estimates a small annual decline.
Key trends to monitor include advancements in electrification, potential infrastructure upgrades, and policy changes aiming to modernize rail transport, potentially further decreasing non-electrified track lengths.
