The railway transport volume of coal, lignite, crude petroleum, and natural gas in Italy was recorded at 106.0 million tonne kilometers in 2023. Forecasts suggest a steady annual increase, reaching 111.0 million tonne kilometers in 2024 and continuing to rise until 129.0 million tonne kilometers in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year percentage growth of approximately 4.5%-4.8%. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated to be around 4.0%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainability initiatives and government policies on traditional fuel transportation and the potential increase in efficiency and capacity of railway infrastructure to handle this growth.
