The forecast for Italy's national transport of loaded and empty road freight indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 7.94 to 7.84 billion vehicle-kilometers. The year-on-year variation signifies a consistent marginal reduction of less than 1% annually. No significant short-term fluctuations have been observed, reflecting a stable but contracting market trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period suggests a continued modest decrease. As of 2023, the actual value was slightly higher than forecasts for subsequent years, revealing a downward trend starting in 2024.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of economic policies on freight volumes
- Advancements in sustainable transport technologies and their adoption rate
- Shifts in demand due to global trade developments and local economic activities
- Infrastructure developments that might influence transport efficiencies
