The unloaded international container transport volume in Germany is anticipated to rise from 5.57 million metric tons in 2024 to 5.65 million metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at 5.55 million metric tons. Year-on-year growth rates depict a consistent, albeit slow, increase of approximately 0.36% annually.
