As of 2023, the road freight volume of textiles, textile products, leather, and leather products in the UK stood at an actual value. The forecasts for 2024 through 2028 indicate a consistent decline in volume, starting from 311.3 million tonne kilometers in 2024 to 190.66 million tonne kilometers by 2028.
Year-on-year percentage changes reveal a declining trend, with each subsequent year showing a reduction in volume. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasted period suggests a significant average annual decrease.
Future trends to watch include the impact of potential economic reforms, shifts in consumer demand, and sustainability practices influencing the textile and leather goods sectors, potentially affecting transportation needs.
