In 2023, the road freight volume for the solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels wholesale sector in France was a critical baseline, as it set the stage for the predicted downward trend visible in the forecast from 2024 to 2028. The volume decreases by approximately 1 million vehicle-kilometers annually from 66 million in 2024 to 63 million in 2028, indicating a gradual decrease in activity. The year-on-year variations suggest a steady decline, with a negligible decrease between 2026 and 2027.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in fuel consumption patterns, policy changes promoting sustainable transport methods, and technological advancements that might alter logistics efficiencies and fuel demand dynamics within the sector.
