In 2023, the international transport of empty road freight in France was at a certain level, with forecasted figures indicating a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The values decrease from 123.0 thousand journeys in 2024 to 103.0 thousand journeys by 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year reduction in demand or optimization within the freight sector. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a consistent downward trend, suggesting ongoing shifts potentially due to efficiency improvements or logistics optimization.

Future trends to watch for include:

Transportation innovations that further reduce the need for empty journeys.
Sustainability initiatives potentially affecting the demand for such freight services.
Economic changes influencing international trade and freight requirements.
