The forecast for Italy's road freight volume of coke and refined petroleum products suggests a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 34.14 million metric tons and declining to 29.7 million metric tons. As we stand in 2024, this represents a consistent annual decline that highlights potential challenges in the sector. Year-on-year forecast variations for 2025 to 2026 show gradual decreases, reflecting a continued decline in demand or potential shifts in the energy market.
Future trends to watch for:
- Shifts in energy policy and regulation could affect demand for refined petroleum products.
- Technological advancements in alternative energy sources may further impact traditional freight volumes.
- Changing consumer preferences towards sustainability might drive this trend downwards further.
