The projected number of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers enterprises in Germany is expected to stabilize with a slight decline from 2.64 thousand in 2024 to 2.61 thousand by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.23% over this five-year period. In 2023, the actual number of enterprises stood slightly higher, setting the base for the declining trend observed in the forecasts starting from 2024. The stability in the forecast suggests a mature market with limited room for new entrants.

Future trends to watch:

Innovation in electric vehicle production and regulatory shifts could influence enterprise numbers.
M&A activities may drive consolidation, impacting the number of enterprises.
Supply chain adjustments post-pandemic may alter enterprise strategies and count.
