In 2023, the national road freight volume of coke and refined petroleum products in France was recorded at 5.48 billion tonne kilometers. Forecasted data indicates a gradual decline from 2024 onwards, with a decrease from 5.46 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 to 5.37 billion tonne kilometers by 2028. This downward trend shows a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.2% to 0.3% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028 suggests an average decline of about 0.4% per year.
Future trends to watch include the impact of environmental regulations on road freight and potential shifts towards alternative fuels, which could further influence the volume of traditional petroleum products. Additionally, economic factors and changes in industrial demand could either mitigate or accentuate this declining trend.
