The forecast for the national transport of loaded and empty road freight in Germany indicates a consistent decline, starting from 91.53 million journeys in 2024 to 64.51 million journeys by 2028. Comparing 2024 with 2023, there is no previous data provided for 2023 to infer trends directly. However, a noticeable year-on-year decrease emerges, with a clear downward trajectory indicated across the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year span is negative, reflecting significant contraction.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from policy changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions, disruptive technologies like autonomous vehicles, and shifts in economic activities post-COVID. Monitoring infrastructural developments and digital transformations within the logistics sector will be essential in understanding how these will influence freight dynamics moving forward.
