In 2023, the cabotage road freight transport volume in Italy stood at approximately 3.24 million metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady increase from 3.29 to 3.46 million metric tons. This reflects a year-on-year growth ranging from 1.22% to 1.20%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 1.4% over this period. Such a positive trend suggests a stable expansion in domestic road freight activities.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from digitalization in logistics, shifts in regulatory frameworks, environmental considerations, and economic conditions, which could influence demand and operational efficiencies in road freight transport.
