The road freight volume for the wire products, chain, and springs sector in France was at 42.0 million tonne kilometers in 2023. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a consistent decline in volume, decreasing from 41.0 million to 32.0 million tonne kilometers. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 4.9% from 2024 to 2025 and similar trends in subsequent years. Over the five-year period (2024-2028), this projects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -4.8%, indicating a steady contraction in volume.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of emerging trade technologies on road freight efficiency and adaptability.
- Regulatory changes in environmental policies affecting freight operations.
- Potential shifts towards localized production reducing reliance on long-haul freight.
