The forecasted international road freight transport volume in France shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 through 2028, starting at 36.61 million metric tons and decreasing annually to 29.9 million metric tons. This represents a notable decline after 2023, where the volume was higher. The year-on-year percentage variations indicate a gradual reduction in road freight activity, reflecting changes in economic conditions, sustainability efforts, or shifts towards other transport modes. Annually, the average decline over the five-year period (2024-2028) is calculated using the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), reinforcing the diminishing trend observed.
Future trends to watch for include:
• Changes in international trade regulations and relations that could impact freight demand.
• Technological advancements in logistics and transportation efficiency.
• Environmental policies and their effect on road versus rail or maritime freight preference.
