The forecast for the total road freight volume of substances liable to cause infections in the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 89.18 thousand units in 2024 to 80.25 thousand units in 2028. Compared to 2023, which stood at a slightly higher value, the data indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease. From 2024 to 2025, the volume decreases by 2.58%, with similar declines in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period projects a negative growth rate, reflecting the overall decline in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include regulatory changes in transporting infectious substances, advancements in freight technology, and new health safety protocols that could potentially impact these volume projections. Additionally, increased emphasis on reducing environmental impact and operational efficiencies may further influence the demand and logistics of road freight in this category.
