The annual road freight transport of metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products unloaded in predominantly urban regions in Germany showed a slight declining trend from a volume of 243.75 million metric tons in 2024 to 241.47 million metric tons in 2028. Compared to the baseline year of 2023, this reflects a gradual reduction. Year-on-year variations reveal minimal percentage declines, leading to a cumulative average decrease in the forecast period, highlighting a subdued market due to changing demand or structural shifts within the industry.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of technological advancements in logistics and transport efficiency.
- Shifts in urban industrial demand dynamics for these materials.
- Regulatory changes affecting mining and environmental policies that could influence transportation volumes.
- Economic and geopolitical factors affecting the supply chain of these products.
