In 2023, the railway transport volume of goods in Germany stood at 355 million metric tons. From 2024 through 2028, the forecasted data indicates a gradual decrease. The annual volume decreases steadily from 355.09 million metric tons in 2024 to 354.53 million metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a minimal decline of approximately 0.04% annually. Over the 5-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) demonstrates a negligible negative growth, suggesting a period of stability with a slight downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in green technologies altering transport efficiencies
Impacts of legislative changes on carbon emissions and transportation standards
Potential shifts in goods transport modes driven by economic or infrastructure changes
Technological innovations in railway systems that may improve volumes and efficiency
