The dry bulk goods road freight volume in Belgium is forecasted to steadily decline from 719.0 million tonne-kilometers in 2024 to 700.0 million tonne-kilometers by 2028, marking a cumulative decrease over the period. Year-on-year, this represents a 0.7% reduction annually. This trend continues the pattern observed in 2023, where the actual value reached a similar rate. Looking at the long-term, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at approximately -0.8% over five years, indicating a consistent decrease each year.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of policy changes around emissions, advancements in freight technology, and shifts in trade patterns due to geopolitical developments, which could further influence road freight demand and volume.
