The forecast for the transport of loaded and empty road freight in France shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Beginning at 153.62 million journeys in 2024, there's an expected year-on-year decrease of roughly 3-4% annually, reaching approximately 133.25 million journeys by 2028. Historical data from 2023 placed the figure at about 158 million journeys, indicating a continuous downward trajectory into the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of digitalization in the logistics sector, regulatory changes focusing on carbon emissions reduction, and shifts towards more sustainable modes of transportation. Furthermore, technological advancements and economic shifts, particularly those affected by international trade policies and fuel price volatility, will play critical roles in shaping road freight transport trends in France.
