Georgian Railways faced a 3% drop in cargo turnover in 2025, transporting 13.3 million tons of cargo, according to the National Statistics Office. Domestic transportation accounted for only 7.9% of the total volume, international transportation accounted for 34.7%, and transit transportation accounted for more than half, 57.5%. The main flow of international cargo was import: 75.8% of the total volume was brought to Georgia, of which 35.8% came from Russia, 27.2% from Azerbaijan, and other countries accounted for less than 10%. Fewer goods were exported: Armenia became the leader with 16.2%, followed by Kazakhstan with 9.2% and Russia with 8.4%.
Transit transportation through Georgia in 2025 shows an interesting geography. The largest share falls on the Netherlands - 13.4%, Turkey - 10.8% and China - 6.6%. Ukraine, Italy and Romania received 2.9%, 2.4% and 1.3% of transit cargo, respectively. Among other countries, the source of transit was Brazil (6%), Turkey (3%) and the USA (1.2%).
Experts note that the decline in cargo turnover is associated with global economic fluctuations and changes in transportation routes. At the same time, transit remains a key area for Georgia, confirming the country's strategic role as a transport corridor between Europe and Asia.
