“[…] One hundred and twenty-five container trains transited through Kazakhstan via the TITR [Trans-Caspian International Transport Route], marking a 34.4% increase compared to the same period in 2025.”
“The TITR is a multimodal corridor linking China and Europe through Central Asia and the South Caucasus, providing an alternative to routes that pass through Russia.”
“The geography of cargo origins has also broadened. While the Chinese city of Xi’an accounted for roughly 50% of all shipments in 2025, additional industrial centers have now joined the route, including Zhengzhou, Yiwu, Hefei, Wuhan, Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. This diversification is expected to further strengthen the corridor’s resilience and capacity.”
“Container transportation has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the route. In 2025, approximately 77,000 TEUs were transported along the TITR, and Kazakhstan aims to increase this figure to 300,000 TEUs by 2029, reflecting its ambition to position the corridor as a key artery for Eurasian trade.”
