In 2023, Germany's loaded international road freight transport volume stood at an estimated 32.83 billion tonne-kilometers. Forecasts for 2024 predict a slight decline to 32.22 billion tonne-kilometers. This decreasing trend is expected to continue steadily, falling to 29.94 billion tonne-kilometers by 2028. Year-on-year variation reflects a consistent decline, signaling a contraction in the international road freight transport sector. By observing the compound annual growth rate, analysts can infer a negative growth trajectory over the upcoming five years.
Future trends to watch include the impact of regulatory changes on emissions, advancements in electric logistics vehicles, and potential shifts in trade routes due to emerging geopolitical scenarios. Additionally, economic movements within the EU and global trade agreements are likely to influence these projections.
