The transport of loaded and empty road freight in France is forecasted to see a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 13.81 billion vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 13.7 billion in 2028. This represents a minor year-on-year reduction of about 0.2% per year. The calculated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates a consistent, albeit slight, downward trend in activity.
Looking ahead, attention should be directed towards factors that could influence future freight transport trends, such as advancements in logistics technology, regulatory changes affecting road transport, shifts in European trade policies, and the environmental impact of road freight contributing to increased focus on sustainable practices and modal shifts to rail or waterways.
