The forecasted data indicates a steady decline in the road freight transport volume in France from 2024 through 2028, starting at 1.5879 billion metric tons in 2024 and reducing to 1.5155 billion metric tons in 2028. Given these forecasts, the industry is witnessing a gradual annual decrease. In 2023, the volume stood at approximately 1.6063 billion metric tons. Compared to the 2023 levels, there is a marked downward trend with the volume expected to decrease consistently over the next five years.
- 2024: 1.5879 billion metric tons
- 2025: 1.5695 billion metric tons
- 2026: 1.5513 billion metric tons
- 2027: 1.5333 billion metric tons
- 2028: 1.5155 billion metric tons
This trend corresponds to a contraction of the market, driven potentially by shifts toward alternative transportation means or economic factors affecting freight movements.
Future trends to watch include the impact of green transportation policies, technological advancements in logistics, and the increase in intermodal transport systems that may further influence road freight volumes in France.
