The national road freight volume of corrosives in France is forecasted to remain stable at 16.0 million vehicle-kilometers annually in 2024 and 2025. A decline is expected from 2026, decreasing to 15.0 million vehicle-kilometers and further dropping each year, reaching 13.0 million vehicle-kilometers by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the actual volume was higher than 16.0 million vehicle-kilometers, this represents a concerning trend. The year-on-year data indicates a gradual reduction, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) downward over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of regulatory changes on hazardous material transportation.
- Technological advancements in logistics affecting volume efficiency.
- France's economic developments influencing industrial demand for corrosives.
- Environmental policies encouraging alternative transport modes or materials.
