The road freight volume for wood, cork, straw, plaiting, pulp, and paper products, along with printed matter and recorded media in Italy is anticipated to steadily decline from 2024 through 2028. This decrease follows the volumes from prior years, although specific data for 2023 was not provided for direct reference.

The year-on-year forecast shows a gradual reduction in volume with decrements observed between each year: 2024 to 2025, 2025 to 2026, etc. Over a five-year span, this is reflected in a declining compound annual growth rate, suggesting long-term contraction in these product sectors.

Future trends to watch for:

Digitalization affecting demand for printed matter, potentially accelerating declines.
Shifts in sustainable materials usage influencing wood and related product freight.
Technological advancements in logistics impacting efficiency and volumes.
