In 2023, the international railway passenger traffic in Germany was a baseline as forecasts suggest a gradual increase in the following years. The incoming international railway passenger traffic is projected to rise from 9.01 million persons in 2024 to 9.87 million persons in 2028. This reflects a steadily increasing trend, with year-on-year growth percentages calculated to maintain consistent momentum.
Key trends to monitor include technological advancements in railways, improvements in cross-border travel efficiency, and the impact of environmental policies promoting rail over air travel. These factors could potentially accelerate growth in international railway passenger traffic in Germany beyond current forecasts.
