In 2023, Poland led European countries in international road freight volume of dangerous goods, followed by Belgium and Germany. Notable increases were seen in Poland (7.71%), Slovenia (5.24%), and Croatia (11.12%). Conversely, Slovakia (-7.79%) and Lithuania (-6.51%) experienced significant declines. Germany and Belgium had minor changes, while dangerous goods traffic in countries like the UK (-12%) and Greece (-12.94%) dropped sharply. The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests gradual growth and decline trends across different nations over five years.
Future trends to watch include geopolitical impacts, regulatory changes on dangerous goods transport, and shifting trade routes. These factors could significantly influence road freight volumes and national rank orders within this segment over the next few years.
