The forecast for total container transport volume of metal ores, peat, uranium, thorium, and other mining and quarrying products in Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows a stable and incremental growth. In 2023, the actual transport volume was slightly lower than the forecasted 1.48 million TEU kilometers for 2024. The increase is subtle with a year-on-year variation of around 0.67% from 2024 to 2025 and from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a consistent annual growth over the five-year forecast period.
Looking ahead, future trends to monitor include advancements in mining technology, shifts in global demand for metals and minerals, and any policy changes impacting the mining sector. Economic growth in emerging markets and environmental regulations could also play significant roles in shaping transport volumes.
