The International Coordination Council on Trans-Eurasian Transportation (CCTT) co-organized the business program of the TransRussia Summit. CCTT Secretary General Mikhail Goncharov took part in the plenary analytical session "Contours of the Logistics Industry: 2026 Results and 2027 Outlook," where he presented the tasks involved in building a unified logistics space across Eurasia.
The session was moderated by Anatoly Grek, Partner in the Transport & Logistics practice at Strategy Partners. Participants discussed macroeconomic shifts and their impact on supply chains, the capacity and growth potential of key routes, corridors and transport modes, and the regulatory and digital factors that directly affect logistics operations. Alongside Mikhail Goncharov, the panel included Alexander Elizarov (Russian Railways), Olga Fedotkina (National Union of Transport and Logistics Experts), Olga Mironova (ATC GLOBAL LOGISTICS), Ilya Ilyin (PSB), Vladimir Kosoy (CEI) and Anton Rumyantsev (Strategy Partners).
"The industry now faces a fundamental task: to move from developing individual routes to building a coherent transport system in which infrastructure, tariffs, schedules, border procedures and digital solutions work as a single whole. The core purpose of transport is to deliver cargo quickly, reliably and at optimal cost. Without optimized logistics, it is hard to stay competitive," said Mikhail Goncharov.
According to expert estimates, Eurasia will become the main generator of global container flows, accounting for more than 70% of worldwide container traffic. At the same time, over 80% of container shipments still go by sea, while Eurasian overland routes currently account for less than 2%, although they are growing across all modes of transport. The speaker stressed that stable growth in the logistics business will depend on stronger coordination of international transport corridors, synchronized development of physical infrastructure, and the digitalization of the industry. The investment potential is backed by the numbers: 325 transport projects with a combined value of more than USD 234 billion have been recorded across 13 countries of the Eurasian region.
"The competitive advantage in the logistics of the future will go to those who are the most adaptable: those who can change routes and adjust their service offering in response to emerging challenges," concluded the CCTT Secretary General.
