Lithuania's national rail network reported a 4.7% decrease in freight volume transported in 2025 when compared to figures from 2024. This reduction signifies a continuation of a downward trend for the country's intermodal logistics sector.
This decline suggests potential shifts in trade patterns, economic factors, or competitive pressures from other transport modes affecting rail's market share in Lithuania.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this sustained decrease in Lithuanian rail freight volume could indicate reduced capacity utilization on certain routes or potentially impact service frequency. Shippers might find more competitive rates on alternative routes or modes if rail demand continues to soften. It also highlights the importance of monitoring regional freight trends when planning multimodal shipments through the Baltic states.
