The volume of international road freight transport loaded domestically in France is forecasted to decline from 4.4 billion tonne-kilometers in 2024 to 3.63 billion tonne-kilometers in 2028. In 2023, the actual volume stood at approximately a similar level to the 2024 forecast, indicating a sharp downward trend. The year-on-year percentage change reveals a consistent decrease, with approximately a 4.1% drop from 2024 to 2025, followed by a 4.52%, 4.74%, and 4.97% consecutive declines in the subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a negative trajectory.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impacts of environmental regulations on road freight transport.
- Shifts towards more sustainable or alternative transportation modes, influencing traditional road freight volumes.
- Technological advancements and their adoption potentially boosting efficiency or reducing demand.
