In 2023, the total road freight volume for substances liable to spontaneous combustion in France was 8.0 million vehicle-kilometers. Forecasts indicate stability in 2024 through 2026, remaining at 8.0 million vehicle-kilometers. From 2027, a slight increase to 9.0 million vehicle-kilometers is expected, continuing into 2028. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is limited, showcasing a modest upward trend, driven by enhancements in logistics and regulatory measures favoring safer transport conditions.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements enhancing transport safety and operational efficiency.
Stricter regulations potentially influencing transport practices.
Fluctuations in demand from industrial sectors impacting freight volume.
