In 2023, the road freight volume of the wooden containers sector in France stood at a level of more than 8 million vehicle-kilometers. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a declining trend, with volumes reducing from 8 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 3 million by 2028. This reflects a steady year-on-year decrease and suggests an average annual reduction over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Consider impact from evolving environmental regulations which could promote alternative packaging solutions.
Monitor shifts in consumer demand and supply chain efficiencies that might drive further declines.
Stay attentive to technological advancements that could revolutionize logistics and transport.
