In 2023, the national road freight volume of dangerous goods in Germany was recorded at 10.72 billion tonne kilometers. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a relatively stable trend with only slight annual increases: a minor increment to 10.73 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 and 2025, followed by marginal growth to 10.74 and 10.75 billion tonne kilometers in 2026 and 2027 respectively, which continues into 2028. This translates to a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) close to zero, reflecting stagnation in the sector’s growth over the period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting dangerous goods transport.
- Technological advancements improving efficiency and safety.
- Environmental policies pushing for alternative transport modes.
- Market shifts in demand for hazardous materials impacting freight volume.
