Market Guide Agency predicts growth in the freight traffic on the territory of the Saratov region in the period of 2016 - 2025 at the level of 2.7 - 3.0%

18 june 2015

The Saratov region is characterized by a great potential for the development of transport and logistics complex. Two international transport corridors (“North-South” and “East-West”) pass through the territory of the region and form a multi-modal transport hub. There are major federal highways that connect the region with northern and central Russian regions, with Lower Volga region, Kazakhstan and Central Asian republics.

According to the data of Saratovstat (Saratov Statistic Agency), in 2014 on the territory of the Saratov Region all modes of transport (excluding pipeline) transported 43.4 million tons of cargoes; this figure is 2.5% below the level of 2013. In general, the volume of freight traffic of the Saratov region has increased by 9.2% during the post-crisis period (2009-2014), the positive trend being observed until 2012 (growth was 18.8%), since 2013 the volume of freight traffic has been reduced. The decline in freight traffic in 2013 – 2014 is typical for all modes of transport (except for air transport), the growth of cargo transportation being 6.5% in 2014. (Figure 1)

The main volume of freight traffic on the territory of the Saratov region is transported by road and rail, their aggregate share is more than 90%, the share of inland waterway transport does not exceed 3%, the air transport share is less than 1%.

In the structure of cargo transportation by rail and road transport the predominant share is occupied by fuel and oil products, construction materials, grain, food products, fats and vegetable oil products, metal products and other goods (Figure 2).

The industrial sector of the Saratov region is represented by enterprises of various branches of industry: engineering sector, chemical cluster, food processing, furniture production, production of building materials and other industries. According to the data of Saratovstat, the index of industrial production in the Saratov region in January-April 2015 as compared to January-April 2014 amounted to 109.5%, with growth being observed in both the mining and the manufacturing sector.

According to the data of Market Guide Agency, at the end of 2014 the capacity of the logistics market of the Saratov region was about 43 million tons.

Sector of “Transportation and cargo forwarding” occupies a predominant share in the structure of the potential demand for transport and logistics services in the Saratov region by functionality, as well as in Russia as a whole. Structure of the transport and logistics market in the Saratov region has the following pattern (Figure 3):

transportation and cargo forwarding – about 39.8 million tons;
storage and warehousing services – about 2.6 million tons;
administrative logistics – about 0.4 million tons.

The segment of administrative logistics now is underdeveloped in the Saratov region, but, according to experts, in the long term the share of this sector will be increased.

In 2014 there was a reduction in the overall capacity of the market of logistics services in the Saratov region (Figure 4). Despite the positive dynamics of industrial production development in January-April 2015, the decline of cargo transportation in the Saratov region will continue in 2015 and may reach –1.5% as compared to 2014. The decline in the market capacity of transport and logistics services is based firstly upon the overall decline in freight traffic both in import and export directions as a result of sanctions imposed on the Russian economy.

However, in the long term of 2015 – 2025 the market capacity of the logistics and transport services will increase under the influence of the growth of industrial and agricultural production of the Saratov region, active housing in the area, development of retail and expansion of transport and logistics services. According to the baseline forecast of the experts, in the long term up to 2025 the growth of the logistics market capacity of the Saratov region will be about 2.7 – 3.0% per year; this figure will reach 56.1 million tons, which is higher by 12.7 million tons (+29.3%) as compared with 2014.
