Overview of freight transport in Italy

Italy can count on a rather dynamic transport and logistics sector to contribute to the development of its economy. But at the same time, significant investments are needed, especially in infrastructure. A mode-by-mode overview, with our Special White Paper on Italy.

With a GDP of €2,128 billion in 2023, according to the latest figures from the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), Italy ranks third among European economic powers, behind France and Germany, and ahead of Spain. The country is therefore a leading economic player, particularly in the manufacturing sector, but it is not without its weaknesses.

To support its development, Italy can count on a strong transport and logistics sector, including an efficient port network and a rather dynamic national road freight sector. But at the same time, the country must carry out structural reforms of its economy and make significant investments in infrastructure to meet future challenges. Our Special White Paper on Italy provides an overview of the freight transport sector in Italy, mode by mode, following a presentation of the characteristics of the Italian economy.
