In 2023, the actual volume of empty international road freight transport in the UK stood approximately around the same as in 2024, marking the beginning of forecasted values stretching to 2028. From 2024 onward, a subtle but steady growth is projected with year-on-year increases of around 0.57% to 0.66%. This pattern suggests a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 0.54% over the forecasted five-year period. While the growth is marginal, it indicates a gradual increase in efficiency or demand for freight transport services.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements impacting logistics efficiency.
- Potential regulatory changes in UK and EU road transport policies.
- Impacts of global economic fluctuations on road freight demand.
- Sustainability initiatives affecting transport volumes and efficiency.
