The railway transport volume of goods in Germany shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 onwards, increasing steadily from 113.95 billion tonne kilometers to 115.19 billion tonne kilometers by 2028. Compared to 2023, when the volume stood at approximately 113.00 billion tonne kilometers, the year-on-year forecast indicates minimal but positive growth. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects low but stable growth, highlighting the resilience of the railway freight sector amid modest economic expansion.

Technological innovations in freight transport, improving efficiency and sustainability.
The impact of EU transport policies on cross-border rail freight volumes.
Potential fluctuations in economic activities affecting industrial production and trade flows within and beyond Germany.
