In 2023, the Czech Republic led the European road freight volume in the demolition sector with significant growth of 28.27% compared to the previous year. Greece followed with a 29.33% increase. Conversely, Austria, Poland, and France experienced slight declines, ranging from -2.43% to -3.05%. Portugal, Croatia, and Romania registered more substantial decreases, with rates between -4.64% and -10.95%. Slovenia stood out with a notable increase of 36.08%.

Monitoring EU regulations and sustainability initiatives is vital, as these could impact future road freight volumes in the demolition sector.
