Compared to the actual data from 2023, this represents a continued reduction in road freight transport, indicative of a negative trend with year-on-year decreases of approximately 2.4-2.5% each year. Over the five-year forecast period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects a persistent decline.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations on the logistics sector, including the push for greener alternatives such as rail and electric freight vehicles, potentially influencing road freight transport demand. Additionally, advancements in logistics technologies and last-mile solutions may alter traditional freight patterns.
