Additive manufacturing in France is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7% over the coming years
- Agricultural production in France is one of the country's strengths in terms of international trade. In 2022, the value of agricultural production, excluding subsidies, was USD 102.26 billion, with crop production accounting for USD 62.66 billion and animal production accounting for USD 33.51 billion. The increased production resulted in an increased demand for road freight services in the country to transport goods from agricultural farms to warehouses. Moreover, France is the sixth-largest exporter of agrifood in the world, after the United States, Germany, Brazil, and China.
- The YoY increase in French manufacturing production was 3.6% in 2022. However, the country is yet to fully recover from the disruption caused by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. By the end of 2022, French manufacturing production was still slightly lower than before the pandemic, while its GDP rose by 1.2%. According to INSEE's detailed GDP data released, the value added in the manufacturing industry decreased by 0.5% YoY in the fourth quarter of 2022 despite the increase in production. The increase in production drove the demand for road freight services.
- The French e-commerce market was worth USD 73.58 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to USD 107.5 billion in 2027, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.89% between 2023 and 2027. The rise in e-commerce is expected to drive the growth of the wholesale and retail trade end-user segment. Moreover, the growth in manufacturing production is expected to drive the manufacturing end-user segment. In addition, France is the 4th largest additive manufacturing country globally (after Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom). It is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7% over the coming years.
France Road Freight Transport Market Trends
France is boosting its logistics industry with USD 1.06 billion investments toward road modernization
- In transportation strategy, France planned to allocate EUR 5.1 billion (USD 5.44 billion) for highway maintenance and construction endeavors in 2022. This financial commitment to highways constitutes the larger portion, EUR 13.4 billion (USD 14.30 billion), dedicated to overall transportation investments as pledged by the government. Notably, most of these funds will be directed toward railway projects. The French government also unveiled its infrastructure spending priorities for the ten years concluding in 2028.
- As of March 2022, the transport and logistics industry encompassed approximately 397,000 operational enterprises, constituting 3.6% of the metropolitan business landscape. This sector employed 5.1% of the workforce and contributed 4.3% to the combined turnover. This expansion is notably attributed to the surge in e-commerce activities within the country. The projected outcome for the transportation and storage sector's revenue in 2022 was an estimated USD 266.50 billion.
- France has the best logistics for trading across borders. It has Europe's second-largest rail network, with 30,000 km (18,650 miles) of track and 1 million kilometers (620,000 miles) of road. Europe has the largest road network to maintain this. In May, the French government announced plans to increase the annual national road modernization fund by 25% to EUR 1 billion (USD 1.06 billion). Roads will be reviewed every five years beginning in 2022, using a new scoring system to determine which needs the most repairs and modernization. The roads that serve mid-sized cities are expected to be prioritized.
Shortage of fuel in France is leading to rising fuel prices due to distribution issues caused by refinery strikes
- In January 2022, a liter of diesel was worth USD 1.65, which was five cents higher than the value recorded in December 2021 and three cents higher than the value recorded in October 2018. The price of diesel mostly depends on the quality and supply rate of crude oil, increases in the cost of barrels of crude oil in France, and distribution issues caused by continuing refinery strikes. French petrol stations faced a shortage of fuel, which resulted in increased fuel prices and reduced subsidies for petrol and diesel. When truck drivers pay at the pump, they are charged the full price after a discount.
- In the second week of August 2021, a liter of diesel was worth USD 1.49, while super-unleaded petrol was valued at USD 1.66. The price of fuel rose quickly in France during the first month of 2022 and reached a record level. As of May 2023, the average price of a liter of diesel in France was EUR 1.72 (USD 1.83), while petrol was priced at EUR 1.91 (USD 2.03) per liter.
- The prices of oil have been accelerating since 2020. The consumption of E85 oil recorded a 53% rise during May 2021-April 2022 compared to the same period during 2020-2021. The rise in fuel prices due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted cost-conscious motorists to turn to alternative fuel sources, with E85, a mixture of gasoline and up to 85% bioethanol, which recorded a high demand in France. In 2022, super ethanol (E85) represented 6.2% of the French fuel market, thereby doubling its market share from what it was in 2020. France, an agricultural powerhouse, is one of the strongest proponents of ethanol in the European Union. The French government offers a reduced fuel tax on E85 and a regulatory approach that incentivizes the sale of high-ethanol fuel blends.

Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Cabotage | Road transport by a motor vehicle registered in a country performed on the national territory of another country. |
Cross Docking | Cross docking is a logistics procedure where products from a supplier or manufacturing plant are distributed directly to a customer or retail chain with marginal to no handling or storage time. Cross docking takes place in a distribution docking terminal; usually consisting of trucks and dock doors on two (inbound and outbound) sides with minimal storage space. The name ‘cross docking’ explains the process of receiving products through an inbound dock and then transferring them across the dock to the outbound transportation dock. |
Cross Trade | International road transport between two different countries performed by a road motor vehicle registered in a third country. A third country is a country other than the country of loading/embarkation and than the country of unloading/disembarkation. |
Dangerous Goods | The classes of dangerous goods carried by Road are those defined by the fifteenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, United Nations, Geneva 2007. They include Class 1: Explosives; Class 2: Gases; Class 3: Flammable Liquids; Class 4: Flammable solids- substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, on contact with water, emit flammable gases; Class 5: Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides; Class 6: Toxic and infectious substances; Class 7: Radioactive material and Class 8: Corrosive substances, Class 9: Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles. |
Direct Shipment | Direct shipment is a method of delivering goods from the supplier or the product owner to the customer directly. In most cases, the customer orders the goods from the product owner. This delivery scheme reduces transportation and storage costs, but requires additional planning and administration. |
Drayage | A drayage is a form of trucking service that connects the different modes of shipping (intermodal), such as ocean freight or air freight. It’s a short-haul trip that transports goods from one place to another, usually before or after its long-haul shipping process. Drayage trucks move cargo to and from various destinations, such as container ships, storage lots, order fulfillment warehouses, and rail yards. Typically, drayage only transports goods in short distances and operates only in one metropolitan area. It also requires only one trucker in a single shift. But despite this, but it plays an important role in long-haul shipping because it gets the goods to the cargo and vice versa. It makes intermodal transport much more efficient and enables the seamless transfer of goods to the end customer. |
Dry van | A dry van is a type of semi-trailer that's fully enclosed to protect shipments from outside elements. Designed to carry palletized, boxed or loose freight, dry vans aren't temperature-controlled (unlike refrigerated “reefer” units) and can't carry oversized shipments (unlike flatbed trailers). |
Final Demand | Final demand includes all types of commodities (goods as well as services) consumed as final use and might include personal consumption, or consumption by government, by businesses as capital investment, and as exports. includes all types of commodities (goods as well as services) consumed as final use and might include personal consumption, or consumption by government, by businesses as capital investment, and as exports. |
Flatbed Truck | A flatbed truck is a type of truck with rigid design. It has a back body that is flatly shaped for easy loading and unloading of goods. The flatbed truck is mostly used to transport heavy, oversized, wide and indelicate goods such as machinery, building supplies or equipment. Due to the truck open body, the goods transported with it must not be vulnerable to rain. By functionality, the flatbed truck is comparable to a flatbed trailer. |
Inbound Logistics | Inbound logistics is the way materials and other goods are brought into a company. This process includes the steps to order, receive, store, transport and manage incoming supplies. Inbound logistics focuses on the supply part of the supply-demand equation. |
Intermediate Demand | Intermediate demand includes goods, services, and maintenance and repair construction sold to businesses, excluding capital investment. |
International Loaded | Place of loading of goods in reporting country (i.e., country in which the vehicle performing the transport is registered) and place of unloading in a different country. |
International Unloaded | Place of unloading of goods in reporting country (i.e., country in which the vehicle performing the transport is registered) and place of loading in a different country. |
OOG cargo | Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo is any cargo that can not be loaded into six-sided shipping containers simply because it is too large. The term is a very loose classification of all cargo with dimensions beyond the maximum 40HC container dimensions. That is a length beyond 12.05 meters – a width beyond 2.33 meters – or a height beyond 2.59 meters. |
Pallets | Raised platform, intended to facilitate the lifting and stacking of goods. |
Part load | A part load describes goods which only fills a truck partially. In essence, the quantity of the shipment is bigger than the Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipment. Also, the shipment cannot fully occupy a truck i.e. its capacity is much lower than a Full Truckload (FTL) shipment. |
Paved Road | Road surfaced with crushed stone (macadam) with hydrocarbon binder or bituminized agents, with concrete or with cobblestone. |
Reverse Logistics | Reverse logistics comprises of the sector of supply chains that process anything returning inwards through the supply chain or traveling ‘backward’ through the supply chain. |
Road Freight Transport Service | Hiring a trucking agency for transport of commodities (raw materials or manufactured goods including both solids and liquids) form the origin to a destination within the country (domestic) or cross-border (international) constitutes road freight transport market. The service might be Full-Truck-Load or Less than-Truck-Load, containerized or non-containerized, temperature controlled or non temperature controlled, short haul or long haul. |
Tautliner vehicle | Tautliner and curtainsider are used as generic names for curtain sided trucks/trailers. The curtains are permanently fixed to a runner at the top and detachable rails/poles at front and rear, allowing the curtains to be drawn open and forklifts used all along the sides for easy and efficient loading and unloading. When closed for travel, vertical load restraint straps are attached to a rope rail beneath the truck bed, connecting the truck bed and curtain along both sides. Winches at either end of the curtain tension it, hence the 'Tautliner' name. This stops the curtain from flapping or drumming in the wind and can also help retain light loads from slipping sideways. |
Transport for hire or reward | The carriage for remuneration of goods. |
Unpaved Road | Road with a stabilized base not surfaced with crushed stone, hydrocarbon binder or bituminized agents, concrete or cobblestone. |
