In 2023, the road freight volume of the plastic plates, sheets, tubes, and profiles sector in France stood at 34.0 thousand units (journeys). The forecasted data shows a declining trend from 2024, starting at 32.0 thousand units and dropping to 23.0 thousand units by 2028. From 2024 to 2025, the volume decreases by 9.4%, followed by further year-on-year reductions: 6.9% from 2025 to 2026 and 7.4% from 2026 to 2027. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline of 7.7% in road freight volumes.
Future trends to watch include advancements in sustainable materials, changes in regulatory frameworks concerning plastic usage, and potential shifts towards localized manufacturing, reducing the need for long-distance transport. Monitoring these factors is crucial as they might significantly impact the logistic dynamics within the plastic products sector.
