The volume of road freight transport operated for own account in Italy is projected to decrease dramatically from 62.45 million metric tons in 2024 to 2.65 million metric tons by 2028. This represents an approximate annual decline rate of around 36% over the forecast period. Comparing 2024 to the years prior (assuming 2023 as the base year with data implied), the data reflects an accelerating downturn post-2023, raising concerns about the sustainability of this transport mode under current market trends.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in regulatory policies affecting own account transport.
Increasing adoption of logistics outsourcing as companies streamline operations.
Impact of digitalization on optimizing supply chain and transport efficiencies.
Environmental regulations pushing towards greener transportation alternatives.
