In 2023, the international road freight volume of substances liable to spontaneous combustion in Germany stood at 7.0 thousand units. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, beginning at 6.0 thousand units in 2024 and ending at 4.0 thousand units by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 16.67% from 2023 to 2024 and a consistent decline of 20% over the five-year period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is -8.45%, indicating a steady downturn in demand.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes affecting the transportation of hazardous materials, potential technological advancements in safety measures, and broader shifts towards alternative transportation modes that may decrease reliance on road freight.
