Forecast: Outwards and Inwards Short Sea Shipped Goods Gross Weight in France

Based on the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028, the gross weight of outwards and inwards short sea shipped goods in France is projected to consistently decline. From 2024 to 2028, a notable downward trend is observed, with the weight reducing from 147.53 million metric tons in 2024 to 134.5 million metric tons by 2028. This reflects a steady decrease in goods volume shipped each year.

Key percentage changes year-on-year include a 2.25% decrease from 2024 to 2025, a 2.27% decline from 2025 to 2026, a 2.29% reduction from 2026 to 2027, and a further 2.31% drop from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is a negative 2.28%, indicating a general deceleration in shipping volume.

Future trends to watch for may include the impact of evolving environmental regulations on maritime shipping, increased competition from other modes of transport, and economic factors that may influence demand for short sea shipping services. Adapting to technological advancements and sustainable practices will also be crucial for mitigating further declines.
