The forecast for Germany's national annual road freight transport of metal ores and other mining products indicates a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 214.11 million metric tons in 2024 to 201.11 million metric tons in 2028. This trend reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.5% to 1.6%. In 2023, the volume stood at 217.45 million metric tons. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be a decrease of around 1.6% annually.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainability initiatives on mining practices and transport efficiency, increased regulation on emissions, and potential shifts in demand for raw materials as Germany transitions to renewable energy and advanced manufacturing technologies.
