The forecast for the road freight volume of mail and parcels in Germany indicates a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the volume was higher than the starting point of the forecasted period in 2024. With an average contraction (CAGR) expected over these five years, each year sees a decrease of around 3.5% in volume. Key drivers for this trend may include increased digital communication reducing mail volume and shifts toward more sustainable and efficient transport methods that might alter traditional road freight reliance.
Future trends to watch include:
- Adoption of green logistics solutions could further reduce road freight volume.
- Technological advancements in logistics may improve efficiency and offset volume declines.
- Growth in e-commerce could stabilize or change the projected downtrend in parcel volume.
