The transport of loaded road freight in Italy is projected to decline steadily, starting from 9.47 million journeys in 2024 to 5.53 million in 2028. The year-on-year declines are consistent, with the most significant drop occurring between 2027 and 2028. Over the analyzed period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an overall negative growth trajectory, suggesting a challenging market environment for road freight transport.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts towards more sustainable transport methods, such as rail or waterway transport, driven by environmental policies.
Innovations in logistics efficiency and technology that might offset some of the declines in road freight.
Economic variables including fuel prices, labor costs, and changes in domestic and international trade patterns that could influence demand.
