In 2023, the road freight transport of equipment and materials unloaded in predominantly urban regions in Germany was at 31.85 million metric tons. Forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 shows a slight annual decrease in volume, dropping from 31.81 million metric tons in 2024 to 31.65 million metric tons in 2028. This represents an average annual decrease of approximately 0.1% over the five-year period.

Future trends to monitor include:

The impact of urban planning policies aimed at reducing congestion and pollution in urban centers, potentially decreasing road freight volumes.
Advancements in logistics technology and infrastructure that could influence the efficiency and volume of road freight transport.
Economic factors such as consumer demand and industrial production levels that may affect freight transport needs.
