In 2023, Poland led the European road freight volume in the dairy and cheese processing sector, with 136 million vehicle-kilometers, despite a slight decline of 1.81% from the previous year. France and Denmark followed, with significant year-on-year decreases of 10.35% and 5.87% respectively. Norway experienced the steepest drop at 15.81%. Czech Republic and Latvia, by contrast, saw increases of 9.86% and 5.92%. Greece and Portugal experienced dramatic reductions, with Portugal ceasing activity entirely. The compounded annual growth rate over the past five years indicates a diverse range of experiences across Europe, with some stability in smaller countries such as Austria and Luxembourg.
Looking ahead, the European road freight sector in dairy processing is expected to focus on sustainability and technology integration. Potential expansion in Eastern Europe and a shift towards more efficient logistics practices could influence future volumes. Monitoring regional economic conditions and environmental policies will be essential for anticipating changes in freight demand and volume distribution.
