"Italy Freight Transport Report 2016" Published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.

2016 will be a good year for Italy's freight sector as the upswing in domestic consumption will stimulate road freight growth and as exports of cars and pharmaceuticals will show more dynamism than observed in recent years, which will feed through into growth of rail and air freight. Over the medium term, we expect growth in Italy's freight sector to slow down considerably as economic growth will be muted and exports will face strong competitiveness issues.

We have revised up (modestly) our forecasts for Italian real GDP growth in 2016 and 2017, to 1.2% and 1.0% respectively, from 1.1% and 0.9% as the recovery in domestic consumption will be strong. Over the medium term, however, we hold a bearish view with regards to the Italian economy, as the moderate recovery in domestic consumption will be insufficient to offset the weak performance of the external sector. Over our forecast period (2017-2019), we expect the economy to grow on average by relatively weak 0.8% measured in real terms.

Both imports and exports will post relatively strong growth in 2016, as exports (in particular of manufactured goods and pharmaceuticals), will benefit from the economic upswing in Germany and other regional economies and as imports of consumption goods will grow on the back of improving domestic demand. This will lend some support to growth across all freight modes. Over the medium term, we expect trade growth to disappoint as Italy's exports will continue to face competitiveness issues, which cannot be fully resolved by the labour market reforms initiated in 2015.
