In 2023, the national road freight volume of mail and parcels in France stood at 8.18 billion tonne-kilometers. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase: 8.27, 8.36, 8.44, 8.53, and 8.61 billion tonne-kilometers, respectively. This reflects modest year-on-year growth rates of around 1%, suggesting a consistent upward trend. The five-year CAGR is expected to hold steady at approximately 1.03%, indicating a moderate expansion in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include advances in logistics technology, shifts in consumer online shopping behavior, and evolving regulatory frameworks, which may impact the freight landscape positively. Long-term sustainability measures could also lead to newer logistics models emerging, impacting volume distribution and efficiency.
