In 2023, Poland was the leading country in Europe for road freight transport of basic metals and fabricated metal products unloaded in non-coastal regions, maintaining its volume at 45.42 million metric tons. Spain saw a year-on-year increase of 4.64%, while countries like the Czech Republic and Norway experienced declines of 8.52% and 5.78%, respectively. Over the past five years, Poland and Spain showed resilience, with continued demand for metal transport. However, several countries, including the Czech Republic and Slovenia, had downturns.
Looking ahead, expect continued demand for environmental-friendly and efficient logistics solutions could shape future transport trends. Emerging markets in advanced metal processing technologies and green transport initiatives could be pivotal factors in changing national transport volumes. Tracking economic and industrial developments in the EU will provide additional insights into potential changes in road freight demand.
