April 28, 2022
The Logistics Almanac 2022 notes that in 2021 the strong rebound in Italian industrial production (+11.8%) led to a substantial recovery in foreign trade both in import that in export and, consequently, a good recovery of the logistics in all modes of goods handling, with the necessary differences. Gross domestic product has made record a growth of +6.6% not enough to recover the strong contraction of the pandemic year (-3.0% compared to 2019) and the components that have driven this recovery continue to be, but after all - the report specifies - they have been for over ten years, exports and to a lesser extent imports.
Last year the road and motorway traffic of vehicles heavy has recovered the pre-pandemic data and, also in this case, traffic at the Alpine passes was the driving force (+6.8% compared to 2019). Goods handled by air also made record a strong expansion that allowed the recovery the complete volumes of 2019 and there was also a a strong polarization of traffic at Milan Malpensa airport which has come to handle almost 73% of the entire traffic national aircargo. Rail traffic, after showing the its resilience during the pandemic, has not interrupted its trend growth both in terms of train-km (+13.5%) and tons of goods transported (+16.6%), an index trend of trains more and more Heavy. The trend was much more varied of the maritime sector where a substantial recovery of traffic gateway containers of pre-pandemic volumes has joined a consistent growth in that of transhipment (linked to the performance of the port of Gioia Tauro) and a consistent contraction of liquid bulk (-10.4%). Well the ro-ro traffic that has recovered and abundantly exceeded the volumes of 2019, so like the solid bulk that thanks to the strong rebound have been brought to -4.8% from pre-pandemic volumes.
