The forecast for France's national road freight volume of man-made fibers, nuclear fuel, chemicals, rubber, plastic, and chemical products indicates a steady decline from 6.03 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 to 5.62 billion tonne kilometers in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year reduction of approximately 1.7% from 2024 to 2025, with a consistent downward trend of around 1.8% annually through 2028. Compared to 2023, the figures imply a continued contraction in road freight activity for these materials.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in transportation modes due to sustainability initiatives, potential impacts from regulatory changes on chemical transport, and advancements in logistics technology potentially influencing transport efficiency and volume. Furthermore, evolving demand in the market for these products may alter freight patterns, coupled with geopolitical events affecting supply chain dynamics.
