In 2023, France's national road freight transport volume was recorded at 1.64 billion metric tons. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 1.6303 billion metric tons to 1.5702 billion metric tons. The year-on-year percentage variations indicate small decreases each year, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlighting a sustained negative trend in road freight transport volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts to alternative transport methods such as rail or water due to environmental policies.
- Economic factors influencing freight demand in key French industries.
- Technological advances in logistics and transportation efficiency.
- Sustainability efforts and regulatory changes impacting the road freight sector.
