In 2023, the national annual road freight transport in non-coastal UK regions was at 324 million metric tons. The forecast shows a consistent decline from 322.85 million metric tons in 2024, reaching 317.45 million metric tons by 2028.
The year-on-year variation indicates a small yet steady decrease; 2025 will see a reduction of approximately 0.43%, continuing this trend gradually each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, reinforcing the declining trend over this period.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in regional economic activities, potential policy changes that could affect freight logistics, and technological innovations that might influence transportation efficiencies and preferences.
