About this industry
Industry definition
Die Branche der Güterbeförderung in der Binnenschifffahrt wird in ihrem Geschäftsbetrieb immer häufiger durch Niedrigwasserphasen eingeschränkt. Diese treten bedingt durch den Klimawandel vermehrt auf. Zudem verringerte die Abkühlung der Baukonjunktur zuletzt die Transportmengen in der Binnenschifffahrt. Hohe Treibstoffkosten und der Ukraine-Konflikt verschlechterten die wirtschaftliche Lage weiter und bremsten die Erholung von den Folgen der Pandemie. Die schwache Konjunktur und das Rekordtief des Transportvolumens im letzten Jahr verstärkten die Herausforderungen. 2024 dürfte der Branchenumsatz um 4,9 % auf 1,5 Milliarden Euro sinken. In den vergangenen fünf Jahren ist er im Schnitt um 6 % pro Jahr gesunken.
