In 2023, Germany's transport of loaded international containers for man-made fibers, nuclear fuel, chemicals, rubber, plastic, and chemical products stood at an undisclosed baseline. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline in volume from 1.07 million metric tons in 2024 to 0.763 million metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease signals an accelerating downtrend, with an average annual contraction indicating further pressure on these industries. Over the last two years, volumes have decreased considerably, reflecting an adverse environment.
Future trends to watch include global regulatory changes, shifts in manufacturing patterns due to sustainability pressures, and potential disruptions in supply chains that could affect container transport dynamics in this sector.
