The national passenger road transport by all vehicles in the Netherlands stood at 191.21 billion passenger kilometers in 2023. Over the last decade, the data shows an initial growth followed by a gradual decline. Recent trends indicate a continual year-on-year decrease in transport values from 2020 to 2023, with minor annual reductions of around 0.22%. This aligns with the long-term perspective showing a broader decline in passenger transport bandwidth. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2023 also reflects this downward trend, standing at approximately -0.23%. Looking forward, the five-year forecast anticipates a further decrease at an average CAGR of -0.18%, translating into a projected decline of about 0.91% by 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of alternative transport solutions like electric bikes and ridesharing services.
- Potential influence of environmental policies promoting reduced car usage.
- Advancements in public transportation infrastructure possibly curbing individual vehicular travel.
