In Germany, the loaded road freight transport volume is forecasted to decline from 561.48 million metric tons in 2024 to 421.65 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year change from 2024 to 2025 is a decrease of approximately 6.31%, followed by a 6.67% decline from 2025 to 2026, a further 7.08% decrease to 2027, and a 7.55% reduction by 2028. On a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) basis, this suggests an average annual decline in the road freight transport volume in Germany after 2024.
Future trends to watch include the impact of increasing fuel costs and regulatory constraints on transport efficiency. Additionally, advancements in logistics technologies, such as autonomous and electric vehicles, could play a critical role in counteracting these declines, potentially stabilizing or even reversing the downward trend in freight volumes.
