The railway transport volume of gases in Germany is projected to grow steadily from 8.95 million metric tons in 2024 to 9.67 million metric tons in 2028. Comparing the forecast in 2024 with actual historical data, the transport volume in 2023 was slightly lower, at 8.77 million metric tons. The forecasted year-on-year growth rates indicate a consistent increase: approximately 2.0% from 2024 to 2025, and similarly for each subsequent year till 2028. Over a five-year period from 2023 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to be around 2.0%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes focusing on emissions, which may drive technological advancements in gas transport safety and efficiency. Additionally, shifts towards greener energy solutions might influence the types and volumes of gases transported.
