Forecast: Volume of Maritime Containers Transport in the Netherlands

The volume of maritime containers transport in the Netherlands has shown varied trends from 2013 to 2023, starting at 101.47 million metric tons in 2013 and reaching 125.42 million metric tons in 2023. The year-on-year variations reveal fluctuations: significant growth in some years (e.g., 2017 at 13.28%) and notable declines in others (e.g., 2022 at -10.58%). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaged 3.25% in the early period, but recent five-year trends have seen lower CAGR values, reflecting slower growth.

Future forecasts indicate a steady, albeit modest, growth rate, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 1.19% from 2023 to 2028. The volume is expected to reach 135.21 million metric tons by 2028, indicating a cumulative growth of 6.11% over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include the impact of global trade policies, technological advancements in maritime logistics, and environmental regulations. These factors could influence both the volume and efficiency of container transport in the Netherlands.
