The national annual road freight transport of equipment and material unloaded in predominantly rural regions in Germany is projected to decline from 15.03 million metric tons in 2024 to 14.07 million metric tons in 2028. Compared to the actual data from 2023, this indicates a consistent downward trend.
The forecast shows a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.66% from 2024 to 2025, 1.69% from 2025 to 2026, 1.65% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.54% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period yields a negative growth trend of about 1.65% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential economic, environmental, or regulatory factors affecting rural infrastructure development, which may further impact road freight volumes and shift freight to alternative modes of transport.
