The national road freight volume of wood, cork, straw, plaiting, pulp and paper, printed matter, and recorded media in Germany is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 12.34 billion tonne kilometers in 2024 to 10.54 billion tonne kilometers in 2028. In comparison to 2023, where the value stood at 12.80 billion tonne kilometers, the forecast denotes a yearly reduction, reflecting a consistent downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average decline per year over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in digital media potentially reducing demand for physical printed matter. Furthermore, sustainability initiatives and shifts towards eco-friendly packaging materials could impact the demand and logistics within these sectors. Monitoring changes in industrial production and consumer behavior will be crucial for understanding future freight volume dynamics.
