The European Road Freight Volume of the Recovery of Sorted Materials sector in 2023 saw France leading despite a notable decline of over 10%. Other significant volumes were observed in Poland and the Czech Republic, although these also experienced declines. Contrarily, Austria and Norway demonstrated strong positive growth, with Norway experiencing a remarkable 15.68% increase. Sweden and Slovenia showed moderate positive trends, while Portugal faced the steepest decline at 29.31%. Small yet significant contributions came from Luxembourg with no variance. These variations over the last five years denote a mixed picture of stability and fluctuation in the sector.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential recovery in declining markets like France and Poland through enhanced environmental policies and technological innovations.
- Continued growth in systematically expanding markets like Norway and Slovenia, supported by sustainable practice adoption.
- Monitoring the sustainability initiatives that may further catalyze shifts towards more efficient logistical networks.
- The impact of EU environmental regulation changes, which could influence volumes across the board.
