In 2023, France's international road freight transport loaded volume was recorded at 2.48 million metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady annual decrease in volume, averaging a decline of approximately 1.6% annually over these years. Year-on-year, the loaded volume is expected to decrease by about 1.64% from 2024 to 2025, 1.67% from 2025 to 2026, 1.69% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.72% from 2027 to 2028. This suggests a consistent downward trend with an anticipated Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -1.64% over the next five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in transportation efficiency that could mitigate volume declines.
Potential impacts of economic policies on international trade affecting freight demands.
Environmental regulations influencing the transition to greener transportation options.
Alternative transport routes and the competitiveness of rail or maritime freight solutions potentially reshaping the sector.
