Since March, geopolitical conflicts have had a major impact on downstream manufacturing, Levin said, adding to the risk factors in cross-border trade and freight markets. The impact of the global pandemic has been compounded by many uncertainties, such as prolonged travel times and transit congestion. If you take a close look at the export volume chart of the China-Europe freight train from September last year to July this year, you can find a few obvious data:

1) In February this year, the export volume of China-Europe freight trains decreased significantly;

2) After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the export volume of the European line was the most affected, and the Russian line held up half the sky;

3) If the volume of the China-Europe freight train exceeds 5W a month, each port will be congested.

"According to market data, the growth rate of China-Europe freight trains was extremely fast in the decade before the launch, but slowed down after 2022, with only 3% year-on-year growth in the first half of the year." Levin analysis. Looking at all the shipping data of China-Europe freight train from 2011 to the present, from 2011 to 2018, China-Europe freight train can maintain an annual growth rate of almost 100%; The growth rate slowed to 50% in 2019-2020; Growth slowed to more than 20 percent between 2020 and 2021.
