The forecast for loaded international cross-trade road freight transport volume in Germany indicates a gradual increase from 188.0 million vehicle-kilometers in 2024 to 190.0 million vehicle-kilometers in 2028. Compared to 2023, when the volume stood at 187.0 million vehicle-kilometers, this represents a relatively modest year-on-year annual growth rate. The calculated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 shows an average yearly increase of about 0.26%, suggesting a steady but slow upward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from technological advancements in transportation, such as automation and electrification, which might influence efficiency and capacity. Additionally, economic factors, trade agreements, and regulatory changes within the European Union could also drive fluctuations in cross-trade road freight volumes. Monitoring shifts in demand for cross-border goods due to market changes or geopolitical events will be essential for refining future forecasts.
