Growth Drivers of the Russian Freight and Logistics Market

Infrastructure Modernization and Government Investments

The enormous land area in Russia needs active transport infrastructure development. In January 2025, the government offered subsidies for the railway engineering industry. In 2025, the Russian Railways investment program had 890.9 billion rubles allocated for 400 locomotives and rolling stocks. The program includes the investments and construction of several freight corridors and transport bottlenecks. It also includes a radical improvement of Russia's railway, highway, and port facilities. This is expected to result in a drastic reduction of logistics costs and improvement of Russia's status as a global logistics hub.

E-Commerce Expansion and Last-Mile Delivery

E-retail is changing the Russian logistics market. The Russian online grocery market grew 44% from the year before in 2024, exceeding 1.2 trillion rubles, with 788 million internet orders made during the year. This requires last mile delivery. This automates warehouses. This gives cold chain logistics for food with pharmaceuticals. For the address of higher consumer expectations for speed and reliability in home deliveries, logistics companies are investing in digital solutions, smart tracking systems, and regional distribution centers.

Cross-Border Trade and Geopolitical Diversification

Russia strengthens trade connections with Asia. Russia strengthens trade connections with the Middle East. Russia strengthens trade connections with BRICS nations. The International North-South Transport Corridor and Chennai-Vladivostok Maritime Corridor are new projects under development. These projects strengthen ties to India and China. In December 2024, Russia and Kazakhstan agreed upon establishing a logistics center with cross-border facilities in Astrakhan for handling warehousing and transport matters. The center would diversify trade routes for the reduction of reliance on the West, making Russia a transit center between Europe and Asia.
