Kazakhstan strengthens its role as a transit hub

At the beginning of 2026, Kazakhstan recorded significant growth in freight volumes. Road transport increased by over 25%, while rail transport grew by 14%.

This reinforces Kazakhstan’s role as a key transit link between China, Russia, and Europe. Rail infrastructure remains the backbone of the system.

Key growth drivers:

- increased trade with China
- rerouting due to geopolitical shifts
- development of international transport corridors

Growing demand is putting pressure on delivery times and logistics costs.
