The forecast for Germany's national annual road freight transport of secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes in border regions shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with figures declining from 38.76 million metric tons in 2024 to 31.97 million metric tons in 2028. This indicates a significant reduction, particularly from an estimated base of 41 million metric tons in 2023, marking a downward trajectory. Year-on-year variations hover around a 4-5% decrease, while the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) signals an average annual decline of about 4.5% over this period.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes and advancements in recycling technology, which could potentially alter waste volumes and transportation needs. The influence of sustainability initiatives and cross-border cooperation movements may also reshape logistical patterns in border regions.
