In 2024, Austria led European goods transported by railway transit with 32.79 million metric tons, narrowly surpassing Switzerland’s 31.51 million. Germany, at 22.29 million, showed notable growth, while Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic followed. Although Lithuania, Latvia, and Denmark showed declines in volume, countries like Bulgaria (30.92% growth) and Croatia (10.04%) experienced significant upticks. Noteworthy is Italy, with minimal rail transit, and Spain, at virtually zero. Luxembourg experienced a substantial decline.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in Germany and consistent growth in Slovakia and Hungary. The significant rise in Bulgaria suggests it could become a major player, while declining trends in Lithuania, Latvia, and Luxembourg may continue.
