The forecast for Germany's loaded international container transport of textiles and leather products shows a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028, starting from 132.0 thousand TEU kilometers and dropping to 82.0 thousand TEU kilometers. This marks a continuous downward trend, with a notable year-on-year decrease of approximately 11% to 13% annually. Compared to the base year 2023, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a significant contraction in the industry, raising concerns over decreased demand or shifts in production and logistical dynamics.
Future trends to observe include potential recovery patterns or strategic pivots in industry logistics, geopolitics affecting trade policies, and consumer demand shifts towards sustainable or locally sourced products, which may alter import-export volumes.
