In 2023, the international road freight transport unloaded volume in Germany was at 772 million vehicle-kilometers. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease, with values dropping from 753 to 679 million vehicle-kilometers. This reflects a downward trend with annual decreases of approximately 2.5% from 2024 onwards. Over the five-year forecast period, a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a challenging environment for the sector.
Key future trends to watch include potential impacts of regulatory changes on emissions, a shift towards multimodal transport solutions, and technological advancements enhancing efficiency. Sustainability initiatives may redefine operational priorities.
