The road freight transport volume in France stood at 13.90 billion vehicle-kilometers in 2023. From 2024 onwards, it exhibits a very slight decreasing trend with a forecast of 13.85 billion in 2024 down to 13.82 billion by 2028, indicating minimal year-on-year declines mostly under 0.1%. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is effectively flat, demonstrating stagnation in volume changes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of environmental regulations aiming to reduce carbon emissions that could enhance demand for alternative transport methods or more efficient trucking solutions.
Technological advancements, such as autonomous vehicles and digital logistics platforms, potentially impacting efficiency and operational dynamics.
Economic factors and global trade agreements that might influence freight demand in different sectors.
