In examining the forecasted road freight volume for the construction of utility projects for fluids in France from 2024 to 2028, a clear declining trend is evident. The volume is expected to decrease from 138.0 million tonne-kilometers in 2024 to 103.0 million tonne-kilometers in 2028, representing an average annual decrease in volume, or Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), over five years.
The year-on-year variations indicate a consistent reduction in volume, with percentage declines from one year to the next. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, there is an 8% decrease; from 2025 to 2026, it drops by approximately 7.9%; a further reduction of around 6.8% is seen from 2026 to 2027, and finally, about a 5.5% drop is expected from 2027 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences from policy changes regarding infrastructure investments, technological advancements in fluid transport, and environmental regulations which could further impact road freight demand in this sector.
