The road freight volume for the chemical products wholesale sector in France is projected to decrease significantly from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 48 million tonne kilometers in 2024, it shows a downward trajectory, reaching just 9 million by 2028. Comparatively, actual data from 2023 would be crucial to determine the baseline for these forecasted figures. The notable declines year-on-year reflect impactful shifts, with reductions of 27%, 31%, 33%, and 44% annually. A compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) analysis over the five-year period from 2024 suggests this sector is experiencing a sharp contraction.
Future trends to watch include shifts in regulatory frameworks affecting chemicals transportation, advancements in alternative transport technology, and changing dynamics in demand for chemical products. These factors could notably influence road freight volumes beyond the current forecast horizon.
