The forecast for the road freight volume in the French cargo handling sector indicates stability from 2024 to 2025 at 3.0 million vehicle-kilometers, followed by a decrease to 2.0 million from 2026 to 2028. Given the data up to 2023, this forecasts a notable decline in road freight activity, suggesting potential disruptions or strategic shifts in transportation methods. The absence of growth highlights a potential saturation or structural changes in the market.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in logistics improving efficiency and reducing road freight.
- Shifts towards sustainable transport may lead to an increase in alternatives to road freight.
- Economic fluctuations impacting industrial production and, consequently, freight demand.
