As of 2023, the road freight volume of coke and refined petroleum products in France was recorded at 740.0 million tonne kilometers. The forecast for the period 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent, gradual decline. Specifically, the volume is expected to decrease from 737.0 million tonne kilometers in 2024 to 727.0 million tonne kilometers in 2028.
When reviewing year-on-year variations, the decline between each year averages around 0.27% per annum, reflecting a modest but steady downward trend. Over the entire forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows an overall reduction in volume, suggesting a long-term decrease.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increasing adoption of cleaner energy sources, potentially impacting demand for refined petroleum products.
- Regulatory changes focused on reducing carbon emissions affecting freight transport.
- Developments in logistics technology enhancing efficiency and possibly reducing overall freight volume requirements.
