In 2023, the road freight volume for the ready-mixed concrete sector in France stood at 211.2 million tonne kilometers. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a steady decline from 194.0 million to 149.0 million tonne kilometers, indicating a consistent year-on-year decrease. Specifically, the expected yearly reduction averages around 6% from 2024 onwards, culminating in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -6.5% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Economic factors affecting construction demand and, consequently, road freight requirements.
- Potential shifts towards sustainable construction materials impacting demand for ready-mixed concrete.
- Technological advancements in logistics that may enhance efficiency and alter freight volumes.
