In 2023, the total road freight volume of flammable liquids in France was 279 million vehicle-kilometers. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady decline in this volume, decreasing from 276 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 265 million in 2028. The year-on-year variations show a decreasing trend, with a slight average annual reduction observed over this period. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, there's a 1.09% decrease, followed by a 1.10% decrease from 2025 to 2026. The cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) across the forecasted span accentuates a continuous decline.
Going forward, attention should be given to several factors that could influence these trends:
- Environmental regulations and their impact on the transportation of hazardous materials.
- Technological advancements in vehicle efficiency reducing road freight dependency.
- Market demand fluctuations and alternative logistics solutions.
- Geopolitical developments affecting supply chain logistics.
