In 2023, the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry in Belgium represented a certain value, providing a baseline for future projections. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decline in output value: starting at 1.1 in 2024, dropping to 1.0 in 2025 and 2026, and decreasing further to 0.9 in 2027 and 2028. This illustrates a modest, yet consistent downturn over the five-year period.
Year-on-year percentage variations reveal:
- 2023-2024: a potential stabilization or minor fluctuation as 2024 maintains the 1.1 value.
- 2024-2025: output drops by approximately 9.1%.
- 2025-2026: output remains stagnant over this period.
- 2026-2027: output declines by another 10%.
- 2027-2028: the value stabilizes again but remains 10% lower compared to earlier years.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period reflects this overall declining trend, suggesting an average negative variation per year.

- Technological advancements such as electric vehicles driving market dynamics.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards more eco-friendly options.
