In 2023, the national road freight volume of dangerous goods in Italy was at 8.30 billion tonne-kilometers. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent, albeit slight, decline with an annual compound average growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.56% over this five-year period. Specifically, year-on-year decreases are around -0.73% from 2024 to 2025, -0.61% from 2025 to 2026, -0.74% from 2026 to 2027, and -0.62% from 2027 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of stricter environmental regulations on transport logistics and operations, which may further influence volume reductions.
Technological advancements in safety and efficiency that could potentially stabilize or increase the demand for transporting dangerous goods.
Economic factors influencing industrial activity, which may also impact freight demand in this segment.
