In 2023, the road freight volume of man-made fibers, nuclear fuel, chemicals, rubber, plastic, and chemical products in France stood at 7.35 million metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, this volume is forecasted to decline steadily, with values showing a consistent year-on-year decrease. The forecast projects a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of -10.5% over this period, indicating a significant reduction in road freight volume for these materials.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential regulatory changes focusing on environmental sustainability that could impact freight operations.
Advancements in alternative materials and technology that may reduce dependency on traditional chemical products.
Shifts in global supply chain dynamics that might alter demand and distribution patterns.
