Armenias freight transportation sector demonstrated robust growth during January-November 2025, with total cargo volume reaching 15,654,000 tons—a 2.5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This positive trend underscores the expanding role of logistics in Armenia and creates new opportunities for cargo delivery to Armenia from international markets.
Freight Traffic Statistics by Transport Mode
The Statistical Committee of Armenia released comprehensive data showing varied performance across different transportation modes:
- Road freight: 12,117,000 tons (+0.9% year-over-year)
- Rail freight: 3,305,000 tons (+23.5% growth)
- Air freight: 36,000 tons (+1.9% increase)
- Pipeline transport: 196,000 tons (-44.7% decline)
The standout performer is clearly the rail freight sector, which recorded an impressive 23.5% increase. This surge reflects ongoing investments in Armenias railway infrastructure and growing demand for efficient bulk cargo transportation.
Road Transportation Remains Dominant
Road freight continues to dominate Armenias logistics landscape, accounting for approximately 77% of total cargo volume. The modest 0.9% growth indicates stable demand for trucking services in Armenia, particularly for:
- Regional distribution within Armenia
- Cross-border trade with Russia and Georgia
- Last-mile delivery services
- Consolidated cargo distribution
Rail Freight: The Growth Engine
The remarkable 23.5% growth in rail transportation deserves special attention. Several factors contribute to this expansion:
- Infrastructure improvements on the South Caucasus Railway
- Increased trade volumes requiring efficient bulk transport
- Cost advantages for heavy industrial cargo
- Environmental considerations favoring rail over road
For businesses shipping full container loads to Armenia, rail offers competitive rates, especially for routes from Russia and through the European corridor.
Air Freight Maintains Steady Growth
Air cargo services through Armenian airports showed 1.9% growth, reaching 36,000 tons. While representing a small fraction of total volume, air freight serves critical functions for:
- Time-sensitive shipments
- High-value electronics and pharmaceuticals
- E-commerce deliveries from China
- Perishable goods requiring rapid transit
