The forecast for the UK's international road freight transport unloaded volume shows a consistent downward trend from 2024, where it stands at 5.11 million metric tons. By 2028, it is projected to decrease to 4.71 million metric tons. Year-on-year variations reveal a steady decline of around 2% annually. Looking back from 2023, we observe a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating an average decrease each year over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of post-Brexit trade arrangements on road freight efficiency and volume.
Technological advancements in logistics and transport leading to potential recovery or further decline.
Environmental regulations contributing to shifts in transport methods or volumes.
