As of 2023, the actual volume of cross trade road freight transport in Germany stood at approximately 5.96 million metric tons. Looking ahead, forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease from 5.92 to 5.77 million metric tons. This trend indicates a slight year-on-year decline, reflecting potential challenges in maintaining growth. The Compound Annual Growth Rate over this five-year period implies an average annual decrease, suggesting a stagnant or slightly contracting market for cross trade road freight in the near future.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes, technological advancements in transportation, shifts in trade patterns due to geopolitical factors, and environmental policy developments, which may influence how road freight volumes evolve beyond 2028.
