The forecast for Germany's national container transport volume of man-made fibers, nuclear fuel, chemicals, rubber, plastic, and chemical products indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 19.0 million tonne-kilometers and falling to 14.0 million. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 5.3% annually. In 2023, the volume stood higher as actual values remain undisclosed, yet the forecasted downward trend is evident. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a consistent decline.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts due to regulatory changes, technological advancements in manufacturing, and the sustainability initiatives in the EU that might either mitigate or exacerbate the downtrend in container transport volume for these materials.
