In 2023, Germany's national road freight volume for textiles, textile products, leather, and leather products stood at 5.7 million metric tons. The forecasted decline begins in 2024 at 5.36 million metric tons, continuing to fall by about 0.36 million metric tons each subsequent year to 2028, showing annual decreases averaging roughly 7.4% over this period. This downward trend suggests decreasing demand or shifts in how these goods are transported.
Future trends to watch:
- Potential shifts to more sustainable or diversified transport modes, possibly affecting freight volumes.
- Impacts of economic fluctuations or regulatory changes on the textile and leather industries, influencing freight demand.
- Technological advancements in logistics that might alter future transport preferences and volumes.
