The forecasted data for France's loaded international cabotage road transport volume shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, dropping from 587.0 to 584.0 million tonne kilometers. As of 2023, actual volumes stood marginally higher, indicating a relatively stable past few years. The year-on-year decline is minor, suggesting a subdued downward trend. Over the last two years, the decrease is less than 0.5% annually, making the 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) slightly negative.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Regulatory changes in the EU's mobility package affecting cabotage quotas and competition.
- The impact of sustainability initiatives pushing for greener transport solutions, influencing road transport volumes.
- Economic fluctuations affecting trade volumes directly impacting cabotage demand.
