The national container transport volume of products such as wood, cork, straw, plaiting, pulp and paper, printed matter, and recorded media in Germany experienced a notable decline. In 2023, the transport volume stood at a higher level compared to the forecasted figures from 2024 onwards. The year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028 is significant, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period indicating a steady decrease. This trend reflects anticipated reductions due to evolving industry demands and perhaps shifts towards digital media.
Future trends to watch include the impact of increasing digitization and sustainability measures which might further reduce demand for physical transport of such products. Additionally, fluctuations in raw material costs and regulatory changes could influence these volumes.
