In 2023, the road freight volume for metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products in France stood at a recorded level. The forecast from 2024 indicates a consistent decline: 258.01 million metric tons in 2024, decreasing to 186.9 million metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 7% over the period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is forecasted at -6.29% for the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in transportation infrastructure and policy, changes in export and domestic demand due to economic fluctuations, and innovations in mining and freight technology that could impact efficiency and volume.
