The analysis of road passenger transport movements by passenger cars in France indicates fluctuating trends over the past decade. From 2013 to 2019, there was a general upward trend with some minor year-on-year variations, leading to a peak value in 2019 at 845.39 billion passenger kilometers. The year 2020 saw a significant decline, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a sharp drop of nearly 20%. However, there was a recovery in the following years, and by 2022, the value had almost returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, 2023 saw a slight decline to 805.56 billion passenger kilometers. Examining the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years reveals a slight negative trend with a decrease of 0.82% per year. The forecasted data suggests a steady recovery and growth, with values projected to rise by an average of 0.68% per year, reaching up to 840.92 billion passenger kilometers by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental policies on road transport, advancements in electric vehicle technology, potential behavioral changes post-pandemic, and the possible effects of economic fluctuations. These factors could significantly influence road passenger transport dynamics in the coming years.
