In 2023, the road freight volume for products like wood, cork, straw, plaiting materials, pulp and paper, printed matter, and recorded media in France was at 200 million tonne kilometers. The forecast indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with significant year-on-year decreases.

Future Trends to Watch:

Shifts in consumer demand towards digital media could further impact volumes.
Potential increase in sustainable materials may alter freight needs.
Economic conditions affecting production and export/import patterns.
Policy changes encouraging greener logistics could impact traditional freight volume.
