The forecasted annual road freight transport of metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products unloaded in intermediate regions in Germany demonstrates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, moving from 409.14 million metric tons in 2024 to 387.96 million metric tons in 2028. In 2023, the actual figure stood slightly higher than the beginning forecast of 2024, indicating a consistent annual drop. The average compound annual growth rate shows a negative trend, conveying a shrinking industry.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in demand for raw materials, the impact of regulatory policies, the evolution of transport technologies, and potential disruptions in supply chain logistics. Monitoring these factors will be crucial in understanding potential reversals or accelerations in the declining trend.
