The total container transport volume in Germany is expected to decline steadily from 309 million tonne kilometers in 2024 to 285 million in 2028, which indicates a continuous downward trend. Between 2024 and 2025, the volume decreases by 1.9%, while a similar decline of around 2% persists each subsequent year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is negative, emphasizing a consistent contraction in container transport volumes. In 2023, the volume was already declining, highlighting a persistent trend since the actual pre-2024 data suggests an ongoing reduction.
For future trends, watch for:
- Infrastructural developments aimed at reversing the volume decline.
- Policies influencing green logistics, possibly affecting volume changes.
- Advancements in technology that could enhance efficiency in transport logistics.
- External economic factors that could impact the transport industry globally.
