Moldova, strategically located between the EU and CIS markets, is steadily developing its logistics sector to improve trade connectivity. With investments in transport corridors, border efficiency, and multimodal hubs, Moldova is becoming an important player in regional logistics and freight forwarding.
Why Moldova Matters for Logistics
In 2024, Moldova’s transport and storage sector grew by nearly 7% year-on-year (National Bureau of Statistics, 2024). As an EU candidate country, Moldova is aligning its logistics standards with European regulations, creating opportunities for freight forwarders and transport companies.
The country benefits from its role as a land bridge between Ukraine, Romania, and wider European markets. Improved rail and road connections, combined with customs modernization, are helping to reduce bottlenecks and increase trade flows.
Moldova’s Logistics Ecosystem
Chisinau and Giurgiulesti International Free Port are central hubs for logistics and freight forwarding operations. The port provides direct access to the Danube and Black Sea, enhancing Moldova’s role in maritime trade despite being landlocked.
Digitalization initiatives, bonded warehouses, and partnerships with international 3PL providers are transforming Moldova’s logistics landscape. E-commerce growth is also fueling demand for modern courier and last-mile delivery solutions.
Conclusion
Moldova is positioning itself as a logistics bridge in Eastern Europe, supported by infrastructure development and regulatory alignment with the EU. For logistics providers and freight forwarders, Moldova offers emerging opportunities in cross-border trade and regional connectivity.
