Geopolitics reshapes logistics: southern routes under pressure

In 2026, tensions in the Persian Gulf significantly impacted logistics routes connected to Kazakhstan. Southern corridors via Iran and Turkmenistan are experiencing disruptions and delays.

In particular, car imports from the UAE have been affected, with shipments delayed in ports.

Market response:

• companies are revising logistics routes
• growing interest in China-bound corridors
• increasing importance of the Trans-Caspian route

Flexibility is becoming a key factor for maintaining supply chain stability.
