In 2023, Germany's loaded international road freight transport volume was recorded at 1.86 billion tonne kilometers. The forecast data from 2024 onwards suggest a consistent decline in this volume, with projections of 1.75 billion in 2024, decreasing yearly to reach 1.31 billion by 2028. This represents a downward trend, with the most notable year-on-year percentage decline occurring in 2025 and 2026. Overall, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period indicates a persistent decrease in volume.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of environmental regulations and shifts in global trade dynamics, which may further influence the reduction of road freight volume. Additionally, advancements in logistics technology and a move towards sustainable transportation solutions could play transformative roles.
