The forecasted international road freight volume of dangerous goods in France shows a steady decline, from 19.0 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 15.0 million in 2028. Assuming that the volume in 2023 was slightly above 19 million vehicle-kilometers, the year-on-year variations reveal a consistent reduction of approximately 5.3% annually. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is calculated at -5.7%, illustrating a clear downward trend. Factors contributing to this decline include improved safety regulations, shifts towards alternative modes of transport, and advancements in safer technologies.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of stricter environmental policies on road freight operations, the potential rise in digitalization and automation within the transportation industry, and the ongoing shift to more sustainable logistics solutions which could continue to affect the volume of dangerous goods transported by road in France.
