The share of road freight transport in Italy's inland freight sector is projected to decrease progressively from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 85.45% in 2024, it is forecasted to drop to 85.04% by 2028. This marks a slight decline indicating a slow shift in transportation trends. Year-on-year percentage decreases are minimal, showing a stable but gradually reducing trend. Looking at the last two years, the decrease is consistent, reinforcing the trend of declining reliance on road transport. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years highlights a very gradual reduction in road transport's share.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in logistics and transportation methods, the growing focus on sustainability potentially driving shifts to rail and combined transport solutions, and policy changes aimed at reducing road traffic emissions. Furthermore, the development of infrastructure for alternative transport modes could accelerate the decline in road freight share.
