The forecast for the national transport of empty road freight in France indicates a significant yearly decline, from 476 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 202 million in 2028. This represents a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -19%. Since these numbers are forecasted from 2024 onward, they suggest a focus on enhanced efficiency in logistics.

For future trends:

Watch for technological advancements in freight logistics and vehicle efficiency that could further accelerate this decline.
Increase in regulatory pressures for sustainability and carbon footprint reduction.
Potential shifts in supply chain strategies, with more emphasis on localized inventories.
