The national transport of empty road freight in Germany is expected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, reaching 116.94 million journeys by 2028. Starting from 111.73 million journeys in 2024, the forecasted values represent a consistent year-on-year increase. Since the actual figure in 2023 was slightly lower at around 110 million journeys, the growth translates to approximately a 1% year-on-year increase over the period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be around 1.1%, indicating modest yet continuous upward momentum in this sector.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of environmental regulations on empty journeys.
- Technological advancements enhancing logistics efficiency.
- Fluctuations in fuel prices and their influence on transport dynamics.
