As of 2023, the length of non-electrified railway tracks in Italy was 4.68 thousand kilometers. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 4.66 to 4.58 thousand kilometers, indicating a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.43%. This suggests a modest but steady reduction in non-electrified tracks. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this declining trend, showcasing an average annual decrease in track length.
Future trends to watch for include Italy's ongoing efforts to electrify more railway lines as part of broader initiatives to modernize the transportation network and reduce reliance on non-electrified routes, which could further diminish the length of these tracks over the coming years.
