The unloaded international container transport volume in France is forecasted to decline from 11 million tonne kilometers in 2024 to 4 million tonne kilometers by 2028. This represents a significant downward trend, with year-on-year percentage decreases of approximately 18% to 33% annually. As per historical data, in 2023, the volume was higher than 11 million tonne kilometers, marking a consistent downward path starting from 2024. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decrease of around 21%.
Future trends to watch include the ongoing impact of global trade dynamics and economic factors, such as potential shifts in trade policies and supply chain models, which could either exacerbate or partially mitigate the decline in container transport volumes. Additionally, technological advancements in logistics and transportation efficiency might influence future forecasting adjustments.
