Between 2024 and 2028, Germany's loaded national road freight transport volume is projected to decline steadily from 31.24 billion tonne kilometers to 25.95 billion. This represents a year-on-year decrease ranging from approximately 4.3% to 4.8%, peaking in intensity later in the period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is anticipated to be a negative value, indicating a consistent downward trend in road freight volumes.
Future trends to watch for include shifts toward rail and other transport modes due to environmental policies, technological changes such as increased automation and electrification in logistics, and the impacts of economic fluctuations on trade and transportation demands.
