What Are the Critical Factors Driving Rail Freight Market Development?
The rail freight market is anticipated to grow, driven by an increased demand for freight services. Freight encompasses goods or commodities transported from one place to another using different modes of transportation, including ships, planes, trains, and trucks. Railways are frequently used for long-distance cargo transport due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. For example, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a United States Department of Transportation (DOT) entity, reported in July 2024 that class I freight and operating revenues increased by 13.8% in 2022 in comparison to 2021, equating to $80 billion in freight revenue and $84.5 billion in operating revenue. Consequently, the increased requirement for freight services is fueling the growth of the rail freight market.
