National railway passenger traffic in Germany has shown a consistent upward trend from 2013 to 2019, with minor fluctuations. The abrupt decline in 2020 by 43.38% was a significant anomaly, attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, a strong recovery occurred in 2021 with a 71.45% increase, nearly returning to pre-pandemic levels. Growth continued in 2022 with a 6.35% increase and a smaller 1% increase in 2023. With the current value standing at approximately 3.013 Billion Units in 2023, the forecasted data indicates a steady, moderate increase over the next five years, with a CAGR of 0.81%, projecting values to reach 3.1604 Billion Units in 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainable transport policies, technological advancements in railway systems, and demographic shifts. These factors could significantly influence passenger traffic volumes and growth rates in the coming years.
