China–Europe and Central Asian logistics are entering a new phase of capacity expansion across both air and overland networks. DHL has added daily freighter capacity between Shanghai and Brussels, while Kazakhstan is strengthening its position along the Middle Corridor through a new multimodal hub near Almaty and a wider terminal network extending from China toward the Black Sea.

China–Europe freight markets are moving in two different directions. Air cargo volumes and spot rates from China to Europe declined in July.
