The forecast for the road freight volume in the support activities for the crop production sector in France indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 30 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024, the volume decreases year-on-year to 26 million by 2028. Comparing each year, there is a general yearly decrease of about 3-7%, with a notable stabilization between 2026 and 2027. Looking at a five-year trend, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a negative average movement, demonstrating an overall contraction in this sector's freight volume.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements reducing the need for traditional road freight volumes, shifts towards more sustainable transport methods, and potential growth in domestic crop production that could impact the demand for support activities. Additionally, changes in EU agricultural policies might sway freight volume trends over the coming years.
