The road freight volume of metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining products in Germany is forecasted to decline from 4.68 billion tonne-kilometers in 2024 to 4.03 billion tonne-kilometers in 2028. This represents a steady annual decrease, marking a reduction rate of about 3.7% year-on-year. The trend indicates a consistent downward trajectory, primarily preceded by economic shifts and potential efficiency improvements in logistics and resource management.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in mining and transportation that may further impact volume.
Environmental policies pushing for sustainable practices, potentially altering demand.
Market fluctuations in Germany and the European Union affecting mining output and freight demands.
