The forecast for Germany's national container transport volume of man-made fibers, nuclear fuel, chemicals, rubber, plastic, and chemical products suggests a decreasing trend from 1.43 million TEU kilometers in 2024 to 1.21 million TEU kilometers in 2028. This projection indicates a year-on-year decline of approximately 4% from 2024 to 2025 and continues similarly, with an overall CAGR of roughly -4.1% over the five-year period. As of 2023, the volume stood at 1.51 million TEU kilometers, marking a consistent downtrend beginning in 2024.

Future trends to watch for include:

Innovations in sustainable production and transport that may impact volumes.
Regulatory changes in Germany or the EU affecting chemical and man-made fiber transport.
Technology-driven efficiency improvements in logistics processes.
Shifts in global supply chains and trade dynamics stemming from geopolitical developments.
