The road freight volume for food products, beverages, and tobacco in Germany is projected to decrease steadily from 41.4 billion tonne-kilometers in 2024 to 40.97 billion tonne-kilometers by 2028. In comparison, the actual volume in 2023 stood slightly higher, indicating a declining trend year-on-year. The year-on-year variations range around a decrease of 0.3% per year. Over the longer term, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a modest decline in road freight volume over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include shifting logistics strategies to optimize freight efficiency, possible regulatory changes affecting road transport, and increased competition from other transport modes or internal distribution changes affecting the food, beverages, and tobacco sectors. Innovation in supply chain and shifts towards sustainability may also influence these trends significantly.
