The Future of Logistics: Sea, Rail, or Air? What Works Best for China–Europe Trade in 2025
As global supply chains evolve, logistics strategies are shifting.
Rising shipping costs, new EU carbon taxes, and unpredictable disruptions make the choice of transport more important than ever.
Comparison of Options:
Sea Freight: Most cost-effective for bulk cargo, but longer transit times.
Rail Freight: Balanced option, faster than sea, cheaper than air — growing popular for Central Asia/EU routes.
Air Freight: Fastest method, ideal for electronics and high-value goods, but most expensive.
Trends in 2025:
Increasing use of multimodal solutions (sea + rail + road).
Green logistics: pressure to reduce carbon emissions.
Digital tracking and AI-driven supply chain optimization.
