In 2023, the UK's international road freight volume of dangerous goods stood at 143.62 million tonne kilometers. Forecasts show a notable downward trend from 2024 to 2028, with an average year-on-year decline in volume. Specifically, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is anticipated to average -6.95%. This continuous reduction indicates a significant reduction in the transportation of such goods.

Future trends to watch for include:

Policies and regulations tightening around the transport of dangerous goods.
Advancements in safer transport technologies and infrastructure.
Shifts towards alternative, less hazardous materials as sustainability awareness grows.
