The international transport of loaded and empty road freight in Germany is forecasted to slightly decrease over the next five years. Starting from 8.77 million units in 2024, it is expected to reduce to 8.52 million units by 2028. Between 2024 and 2025, a minimal decrease of around 0.91% is observed, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.75% over the five-year period. This subtle decline suggests a gradual but consistent contraction in this segment, likely reflecting broader economic trends or shifts in logistics optimization.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impacts of technological advancements in logistics on freight efficiency.
- Regulatory changes affecting cross-border transport between Germany and neighboring countries.
- Sustainability initiatives driving shifts from road to rail or other lower-emission transport methods.
