The national road freight volume for metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 264.68 million metric tons in 2024, it is projected to decrease to 191.84 million metric tons by 2028. Assuming a historical maximum of 281.46 million metric tons in 2023, the annual decline reflects a shift in resource demand and possibly a move towards sustainable and alternative materials.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Growing initiatives in renewable energy and policy impacts.
- Technological advancements in material processing and mining efficiency.
- Global market demands and their effect on domestic transportation needs.
