The forecasted national road freight volume for textiles, textile products, leather, and leather products in Italy shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 938 million tonne-kilometers in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 737 million tonne-kilometers by 2028. This reflects an annual average decline (CAGR) over the five years. The year-on-year decline between 2023 and 2024 indicates an intensifying downward trend when compared with prior years.
Future trends to watch:
- A shift towards more sustainable transportation methods and materials could further impact freight volumes.
- The evolving economic conditions in Europe might either alleviate or exacerbate the decline.
- Technological advancements in logistics and supply chain management could introduce efficiencies, potentially stabilizing future volumes.
