The UK's road freight transport volume forecast indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, moving from 162.84 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 to 165.64 billion by 2028. In comparison to 2023, where actual volumes were slightly lower, this forecast reflects moderate year-on-year growth, with generally stable increments and a consistent upward trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period shows a sustained but modest growth trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in logistics driven by changes in domestic policies, such as environmental regulations and technological advancements in automated transport technologies, which could significantly impact efficiency and capacity in the road freight industry.
