The Middle Corridor continues to strengthen its role in Eurasian logistics. According to a report by Boston Consulting Group, transit volumes along the route may increase three- to fourfold in the coming years. This dynamic is driven by shifts in global trade policies, rising geopolitical risks, and declining reliability of traditional routes, including the Suez Canal and corridors passing through Russian territory.
Azerbaijan, located along a key segment of the route—from the Caspian coastline to Georgia and Turkey—has the potential to further enhance its position as a major transit hub and an active participant in emerging production and logistics value chains.
📌 The growth trend is already visible in official data:
From January to September 2025, cargo volumes transported through the Middle Corridor increased by 6%, reaching 2.651 million tons. Previously, the corridor recorded a 62% increase in 2024, with transit reaching 4.5 million tons. In 2025, volumes are expected to grow further to 5.2 million tons.
By 2027, the Middle Corridor’s throughput capacity may reach 10 million tons per year, creating favorable conditions for infrastructure expansion, investment attraction, and strengthened regional logistics connectivity.
