In 2023, the national road freight volume of substance emitting flammable gases (with water) in Germany was recorded at 7.04 million tonne-kilometers. Forecasts predict a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with respective year-on-year decreases of approximately 8.95% in 2025, 9.51% in 2026, 10.50% in 2027, and 11.32% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is expected to be -9.56% per annum.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of stricter regulations and environmental policies on freight volumes.
The shift towards cleaner energy alternatives and its influence on traditional flammable gas transport.
Technological advancements and logistics innovations that may alter transport efficiency and demand.
