The road freight volume of the meat processing sector in France is anticipated to decline from 26.0 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 16.0 million by 2028. Compared to 2023, where data stood higher, this signifies a consistent downward trend. The year-on-year percentage variation from 2024 onwards highlights a negative trajectory, with most acute contractions recognized in the latter years, characterizing the series from 2025 to 2028. Cumulatively, the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further corroborates this decreasing pattern.
Future trends to monitor include shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based protein, regulatory changes, and increased logistic efficiencies, which might significantly impact the road freight demand in the meat processing industry. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for adapting strategies in the coming years.
