In 2023, the loaded road freight transport volume in France stood at approximately 389 million metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a continuous annual decrease in volume, dropping from 371.36 million metric tons in 2024 to 301.92 million metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year decrease begins at around 4.7% in 2025 and maintains a declining trend with similar percentages for subsequent years.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period shows a negative trend, highlighting an average year-on-year decline in freight volume. This declining trajectory suggests potential challenges within the sector, possibly due to increased costs, regulatory changes, or shifts in economic activity affecting demand.

Future trends to watch include the impact of digitalization and automation on efficiency.
Environmental policies may also influence transport methods and volume.
Recovery in economic sectors or shifts in trade practices can alter forecasted trends.
