In 2023, the national transport of loaded and empty road freight in France was 45.00 million journeys. The forecast for the years following 2024 suggests a steady decline, with a significant year-on-year decrease of around 11.6% by 2025 and an average annual contraction (CAGR) of approximately 11.8% over the next five years. This indicates a consistent downward trend in road freight journeys.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts towards sustainable transportation could further impact road freight volumes favoring rail or waterway alternatives.
Technological advancements in logistics may optimize loaded journeys, affecting overall road freight volume.
Policy changes and economic factors in the EU impacting cross-border movement might influence national freight dynamics in France.
