In 2023, the road freight volume of the metals and metal ores wholesale sector in France was higher compared to the forecasted figures. From 2024 to 2028, a clear downward trend is observed, with the volume declining steadily from 99.0 to 78.0 million tonne kilometers. The year-on-year variations show a consistent decrease of around 6.0% annually.
Over this period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline in volume. This negative trajectory suggests that the sector faces challenges, perhaps due to market shifts, regulatory changes, or economic factors affecting demand.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from technological advancements in logistics, environmental policies, and shifts in global demand for metals. Observing how these factors influence transportation efficiency and the supply chain will be crucial for stakeholders in the sector.
