The forecasted transport of loaded and empty road freight in the UK from 2024 to 2028 reflects a stable and minimal growth trend, with values moving from 11.46 to 11.49 billion vehicle-kilometers. This represents negligible year-on-year growth for each period, averaging to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 0.07% over these five years. In comparison to 2023, where actual values were slightly lower, the forecasts suggest a plateau in expansion.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental regulations impacting freight transport efficiency and sustainability.
- Technological advancements in logistics, such as automation and connected transport networks.
- Brexit's ongoing economic implications on UK road freight activity.
