In 2023, the national road freight volume for agriculture, hunting, forestry, fish, and fishing products in Italy was recorded at 7.15 billion tonne kilometers. The forecast for 2024 indicates a decline to 6.97 billion tonne kilometers, continuing a downward trend through 2028, ending at 6.27 billion tonne kilometers. This signifies an average annual reduction of 2.7% over the five-year period. Year-on-year, the volume is expected to decrease by 2.6% in 2025, 2.5% in 2026, and 2.7% in both 2027 and 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions from environmental regulations, shifts in agricultural and fisheries production, and advancements in logistics technology. Additionally, the impact of economic fluctuations on transportation demand and the development of alternative transport modes may influence freight volumes.
