In 2023, the national road freight volume of dangerous goods in France stood at 8.78 billion tonne-kilometers. The forecast indicates a steady annual increase, with volumes expected to reach 9.15 billion tonne-kilometers by 2028. The year-on-year growth is relatively modest, showing increments of roughly 0.9% to 0.8% each year. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to be approximately 0.8%, illustrating a consistent upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes on hazardous materials transportation, any shifts in economic activities influencing freight volumes, and the technological advancements in transport safety and efficiency that could affect these projections.
