The national road freight volume of agriculture, hunting, forestry, fish, and fishing products in the UK is projected to rise from 12.95 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 to 13.2 billion in 2028. Compared to the last available data from 2023, there is a continuous, albeit slow, upward trend, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.48% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. This forecast indicates modest growth in this sector's freight volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of technological advances in logistics and transportation efficiencies.
- Market demand shifts related to environmental sustainability and carbon footprint reduction efforts.
- Economic factors, including trade policies and agricultural production changes, that may influence freight volumes.
