In 2023, the estimated volume of unloaded international container transport for metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products in Germany was slightly above 553.0 thousand TEU kilometers. The forecast for 2024 shows a stable outlook at the same volume as 2023. However, projections indicate a gradual decline through 2028, highlighting an annual decrease, where the CAGR over these five years is negative.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of shifts in global demand for these materials, influenced by economic recovery or slowdown.
- Technological advancements in mining and transport that could affect efficiency and volume.
- Regulatory changes related to environmental policies which might alter mining operations and transport logistics.
