In 2023, the UK's international road freight volume of flammable liquids was approximately 7.98 thousand units. Forecasts indicate a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from 6.93 to 3.83 thousand units. This represents a year-on-year negative growth rate averaging -15% from 2024 to 2028, and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -16% over the five-year period. The data suggests a significant reduction in the transport of flammable liquids by road.
Future trends to monitor include potential regulatory changes impacting transportation safety standards for hazardous materials, shifts in energy consumption patterns, and potential advancements in alternative transportation fuels that could further reduce this volume.
