In 2023, the road freight volume for equipment and material transport in Germany stood at approximately 923 million tonne-kilometers. From 2024 onward, there is a forecasted decline, with values consistently decreasing from 855 in 2024 to 583 by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of 8.1% from 2024 to 2025, and a consistent decline thereafter. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years will reflect a significant drop in volumetric freight movement, indicative of potential shifts in transportation demand.
Future trends to watch include technological advances in logistics and supply chain innovation, changes in manufacturing location strategies, and environmental regulations potentially impacting transport volumes. Additionally, economic conditions and geopolitical events will likely influence these projections.
