The forecast for Germany's national road freight transport volume, expressed in million metric tons, anticipates a consistent decline from 2024, when it is set at approximately 550.75 million metric tons. By 2028, the volume is expected to drop to around 408.83 million metric tons. Assuming the 2023 volume was slightly higher, noticeable year-on-year decreases are expected: in 2025 (-6.5%), 2026 (-6.9%), 2027 (-7.4%), and 2028 (-7.8%). This reflects a negative compound annual growth rate over five years, underscoring a downward trend in freight transport load.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts towards more sustainable transport solutions, the impact of economic policies on freight costs, and advancements in logistics technology that could alter the logistical landscape. Monitoring environmental regulations and fuel price changes will also be crucial.
