Myanmar Freight And Logistics - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-08-01 I 150 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
Myanmar Freight And Logistics Market Analysis
The Myanmar freight and logistics market size is valued at USD 6.15 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 7.25 billion by 2030, projected to advance at a 3.33% CAGR between 2025 and 2030. A measured growth curve reflects Myanmar's role as the principal overland bridge between China's Yunnan Province and the Indian Ocean, positioning the Myanmar freight and logistics market as a linchpin within the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. USD 5.6 billion worth of Chinese?backed projects were announced in 2024, most notably the Kyaukphyu deep-sea port valued at USD 7.3 billion, signal continued momentum in multimodal infrastructure that directly expands line-haul capacity. Manufacturing relocation is another catalyst: Southeast Asia captured USD 89 billion in manufacturing FDI in 2024, up 42% from 2023, and Myanmar is drawing a growing share through "China + 1" strategies, which amplify volumes across road, maritime, and air freight. Freight transport held 60.74% of 2024 revenue, while Courier, Express and Parcel (CEP) services are projected to grow the fastest at a 4.82% CAGR between 2025-2030 as 5.9 million e-commerce users generate USD 3.80 billion in gross merchandise value. Political instability, foreign-exchange controls, and fragmented last-mile networks temper the near-term outlook, but ongoing Special Economic Zone (SEZ) expansion, the National Single Window customs platform and cross-border digitization initiatives continue to unlock new lanes for the Myanmar freight and logistics market.
Myanmar Freight And Logistics Market Trends and Insights
Regional Manufacturing Relocation to Myanmar Drives Market Growth
Rising labor costs in coastal China and geopolitical trade friction are pushing global manufacturers deeper into Southeast Asia. The 42% jump in regional manufacturing FDI during 2024 translates into sturdier cargo pipelines for the Myanmar freight and logistics market as relocated plants ship machinery inbound and finished goods outbound. Freight forwarders are witnessing heavier demand for temperature-controlled storage to protect electronics components and apparel that transit Yangon and Mandalay. Yet limited expressway mileage and policy unpredictability constrain capacity additions, steering most new factories toward established clusters where road connectivity and customs processing are more reliable.
Myanmar's Logistics Infrastructure and Connectivity Expanding Rapidly
Flagship corridor projects have entered the execution stage, most critically the Kyaukphyu deep-sea port, designed for 8,000 TEU vessels and 16-meter draft, and the 1,700 km Kyaukphyu-Kunming rail alignment. Road freight transport currently carries 71.64% of revenue share in 2024, but rail's share is set to rise once the Muse-Mandalay and Kyaukphyu railways connect inland nodes with ports. The partially completed India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral highway has reached 70% completion, expanding ASEAN-South Asia trucking corridors and lowering door-to-door transit times.
Under-Developed Last-Mile Delivery Integration Limits Service Efficiency
Rising e-commerce orders outstrip parcel sortation capacity; only 45% of domestic businesses have adopted digital workflows, and fewer than 20% of rural townships possess paved road links year-round. Cash-heavy settlement preferences inflate failed-delivery ratios, and major global marketplaces continue to postpone direct market entry. Parcel carriers, therefore, bundle mobile-wallet collection and community pickup points to manage driver contact hours and fuel spend.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:
Government-Backed Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Fuel Investment and Development / Cross-Border Trade Surges Along the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor / Political Instability and Regulatory Uncertainty Create Market Challenges /

Segment Analysis
Wholesale and retail trade led the 2024 demand with 33.88% of the Myanmar freight and logistics market share. Manufacturing, however, registers the highest projected trajectory at 3.49% CAGR between 2025-2030 as apparel, consumer electronics, and agro-processing relocate from coastal China.
Construction logistics remain robust thanks to gravel road projects that elevate rural connectivity and cement consumption. Oil and gas pipeline flows account for 5.62% of load moved (ton-km) in 2024, anchoring specialized tank-truck and pipe-haul services between Kyaukphyu and Yunnan.
Freight transport accounted for 60.74% of Myanmar's freight and logistics market size in 2024, anchored by road's 71.64% slice of freight transport revenue. The segment benefits from urbanizing demand centers on the Yangon-Mandalay corridor, yet the Myanmar freight and logistics industry also relies on sea and inland waterways, which cover 49.00% of load moved (ton-km), reflecting cost-efficient bulk flows. Air freight transport holds the least share, but its premium nature lifts revenue intensity and a 4.24% forward CAGR (2025-2030). Investments such as DHL's automated Asia-Pacific sort hubs are designed to capture higher-margin electronics and pharma consignments.
Courier, Express, and Parcel services are expected to grow at a 4.82% CAGR (2025-2030), outpacing the overall Myanmar freight and logistics market. International CEP fueled by Chinese and Thai consumer demand for Myanmar-made apparel edges slightly faster at 5.02% CAGR (2025-2030) as express lanes open under the ASEAN Customs Transit System. Integration of Wave Money's mobile-wallet ecosystem into CEP checkout modules shrinks cash handling risk and lowers delivery lead times.
