The National Annual Road Freight Transport in the UK's border regions is projected to decline sharply from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 13.14 million metric tons in 2024, the forecast shows a drop to just 1.63 million metric tons by 2028. This represents an annual average decrease of 37%, indicating a significant reduction in road freight activity in these regions. Notably, from 2025 to 2026, the decline accelerates, reflecting shifting economic or logistical dynamics.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impact of Brexit on supply chains and cross-border trade affecting freight volumes.
The shift towards environmentally sustainable transportation methods affecting road transport demand.
Technological advancements in logistics and transportation influencing efficiency and capacity.
