In Germany, the number of self-employed persons in road and pipeline transport is forecasted to gradually decline from 76,000 in 2024 to 73,000 in 2028. In 2023, this number stood at 76,000, indicating no change initially, but a subsequent decrease of 1.32% per year from 2025 onward. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a decline of 1% annually. This negative trend suggests a shrinking workforce in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from automation, regulatory changes, or shifts to sustainable transport methods that could further influence employment patterns in the road and pipeline transport sectors.
