Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan are getting more involved in the international supply chain, and the logistics industry is adapting to new challenges and new opportunities. One of the core causes of this evolution is the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China's grand BRI has greatly influenced Central Asia by increasing infrastructure spending and integration. Large-scale projects like building new railway networks and highways are crucial in ensuring that trade routes between Central Asia and China, as well as Europe, become easier. This has led to an increase in logistics activities hence increasing the transportation and warehousing industries. Also, the countries in central Asia are now paying attention to the diversification of their economy from the energy and minerals sector. This diversification entails the establishment of logistic centers as well as special economic zones to entice foreign direct investments and enhance trade. Technology is also in the process of changing the face of logistics. The use of IoT, blockchain, and automated systems in supply chain management is improving chain visibility, productivity, and protection. Logistics companies in Central Asia are gradually applying such technologies to enhance their performance and meet customers' demands. It is with the view of staying updated with the emerging trends in this region's logistics landscape that Asia Business Outlook has come up with a special issue containing stories of companies that have demonstrated their capability through their expertise. To strengthen this region's business landscape with their tightly-knit and result-oriented approach, they are setting new standards of effectiveness. Your input is valuable to us and we would appreciate your feedbacks and suggestions. Sudhakar SinghManaging Editoreditor@asiabusinessoutlook.com
