As of 2023, the total road freight volume of flammable liquids in France stood below 4.94 billion tonne kilometers. Forecasts indicate a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, reaching 5.0 billion tonne kilometers. The year-on-year growth rates are marginal, indicating stability. For example, between 2024 and 2025, the growth is approximately 0.20%, while between 2027 and 2028, it is a modest 0.20% as well. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is subtle but positive, reflecting an average annual increase slightly above 0.20%.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes impacting the transportation of hazardous materials, shifts in energy consumption leading to demand variations, and technological advancements in transport logistics that may influence efficiency and volume capacities.
