The forecast data indicates a steady decline in the total container transport volume of metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products in Germany from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at 25.0 million tonne-kilometers. From 2024 to 2025, a decline of approximately 13.0% is observed. This trend continues, leading to 5.0% and 10.5% decreases in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is -8.0%, indicating a significant reduction in transport volume over the period.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions, evolving demand for nuclear materials, and shifts in global metal ore trading dynamics which may further influence container transport volumes in Germany.
