In 2023, the national road freight volume of flammable liquids in Italy stood at 2.1 million basic transport operation units. Forecasts indicate a decline from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing steadily from 2.03 to 1.8 million units, a downward trend that reveals a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -3.1% over the five-year period. Year-on-year reductions range from around 3% to 3.4% annually.

Future trends to watch for:

Regulatory changes impacting transportation of hazardous materials could accelerate or slow the decline.
Technological advances in logistics and safety might alter the efficiency and volume of flammable liquid transport.
Fluctuations in industrial demand and global economic conditions could significantly affect the forecasted volumes.
