The share of inland waterway infrastructure investment in Germany's total inland transport infrastructure investment is projected to experience a slight downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 3.93% in 2024, this share is expected to decrease gradually each year, reaching 3.89% by 2028. Unfortunately, specific data for 2023 is unavailable, so this analysis begins with forecasted data. This trend indicates a modest decline in investment focus on inland waterways relative to other transport modes over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in policy and environmental considerations that could impact investments in sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure. Additionally, technological advancements and EU directives might also influence future allocations towards optimizing and expanding waterway networks in Germany.
