The metals industry is still Chile's major exporter and will remain so in the medium term. Investment in a number of new projects in the pipeline will boost production; however, with metal prices remaining weak in the short term, the sector will not see a marked improvement in growth until 2018. Overall, exports will see solid growth thanks to the weak peso, with imports also looking healthy going towards 2020.

Road freight will continue to dominate the freight mix thanks to the country's geography and the nature of the goods that it trades. There will be increased investment in the road infrastructure as part of the government's investment plan for economic recovery, with links to the country's bordering countries a particular priority. Growth will be kept in check by economic factors such as a slowdown in demand from China and a sluggish economy at home and, despite lower costs from oil price falls, the road industry will see the lowest rate of growth of all three freight sectors in the medium term.
