The strong recovery in European road haulage observed after the Covid period seems to be coming to an end. The two main components, domestic and international, are reacting in the same way.

Between 2022 and 2023, the market will lose 3.2% in terms of gross tonnage. The decline will affect all activities and virtually all pavilions. While the domestic and international markets will react in the same way overall, bilateral activity will suffer the most, with a 4.5% decline in gross tonnage in one year.

International activity now accounts for nearly 38% of the total, a relatively stable share over the past 10 years. Activity between third countries and cabotage are driving international growth, while domestic activity is losing market share, a sign of the increasing Europeanisation of road freight transport.
