The forecast indicates a declining trend in the unloaded international container transport volume in France from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 2.14 million TEU kilometers in 2024, the volume is expected to decrease by more than 50% to 1.04 million TEU kilometers by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decreases reveal a consistent downward trajectory: a 13.1% decrease from 2024 to 2025, 14.5% from 2025 to 2026, 17.6% from 2026 to 2027, and a 20.6% decrease from 2027 to 2028.
Key trends to monitor in the coming years include the impact of technological advancements in logistics, shifts in international trade agreements, and environmental policies affecting transportation modes. France might need to invest in infrastructure and innovation to counteract or reverse the decline.
