In 2023, the road freight volume for textiles, textile products, leather, and leather products in Italy stood at an estimated 1.30 million metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 depict a steady decline, with the volume decreasing from 1.28 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.21 million metric tons in 2028. This trend indicates a gradual annual reduction, primarily attributed to diminishing demand or potential restructuring within the manufacturing sector.
Year-on-year percentage decreases average approximately 1.4%, demonstrating decreased reliance on road transport for these commodities. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the projected five-year period highlights an average annual reduction of around 1.4%.
Future trends to monitor include industry shifts towards more sustainable supply chain practices, potential for increased domestic production, and innovation in transport logistics. Trade dynamics and demand changes due to evolving consumer habits might further affect these forecasts.
