The forecasted data indicates a significant downward trend in the volume of incoming international transport loaded and empty containers and swap bodies from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.8 thousand TEUs in 2024 and drastically decreasing to 0.037 thousand TEUs in 2028. In 2023, the actual volume was notably higher as compared to 2024. This reflects a challenging trajectory for the sector.
Year-on-year declines begin prominently in 2025 with a reduction of approximately 25% continuing to a stark drop by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is steeply negative, underscoring a serious contraction in transport volumes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Global economic conditions influencing trade volumes.
- Shifts in international trade agreements and routes.
- Technological advancements affecting container and swap body logistics.
- Environmental policies impacting transportation methods and modes.
