The forecast for the loaded international container transport volume of secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes in Germany indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 56.0 thousand metric tons and decreasing by 1,000 metric tons each year. Comparing this to the 2023 data would provide insight into the initial decrease, but given the pattern, we estimate a gradual reduction trend. The year-on-year decrease averages approximately 1.8%. The five-year CAGR, reflecting this downward trend, suggests an annual average decrease in container transport volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental regulations on waste transport, innovations in recycling technologies, and changes in waste generation rates influenced by consumer behavior and industrial usage. These factors could significantly affect future volume trends, either mitigating or exacerbating the observed decline.
