The forecast for the national annual road freight transport of agriculture, hunting, forestry, fish, and fishing products unloaded in non-coastal regions in France indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 120.11 million metric tons in 2024, the quantity decreases to 117.18 million metric tons by 2028. As of 2023, the figure stood at 120.87 million metric tons. Over the last two years, a consistent year-on-year decline is evident, averaging -0.63% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2023 to 2028 is projected to be -0.63%, highlighting a steady reduction.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on agricultural yields and consequently, freight volumes.
- Policy changes towards sustainable transport and how they may affect logistics costs and strategies.
- Developments in technology and automation in freight, which may alter capacity and efficiency in road transport.
