In 2023, the unloaded international container transport volume for wood, cork, straw, plaiting, pulp and paper, printed matter, and recorded media in Germany was stable. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a stagnation with a slight increment by 2027-2028 from 84.0 to 85.0 thousand metric tons. With no percentage variation expected between 2024-2026 and only a modest 1.19% rise annually in 2027-2028, this suggests a slight growth. The average annual CAGR over these five years remains minimal.
Future trends to monitor include advancements in sustainable materials, digitalization of media reducing physical transport, and any policy changes in international shipping logistics impacting trade volumes.
