Iran Logistics Market Trends:

E-Commerce Growth

The swift growth of Iran's e-commerce, driven by the growing penetration of the internet and mobile phones, is transforming logistics. According to industry reports, in early 2024, Iran reported 73.14 million internet users, reflecting an 81.7% penetration rate. The nation had 48 million social media users, comprising 53.6% of its population. Additionally, there were 146.5 million active cellular mobile connections, equating to 163.7% of the total population. Consumers increasingly demand quicker delivery times and real-time tracking, which has led logistics companies to enhance last-mile delivery. Conventional courier operations are being modified to carry greater volumes of parcels, while startups are arriving in the market with app-based delivery models. Congestion in urban areas and aging infrastructure create difficulties, but there is a definite trend toward more effective, technology-driven solutions such as route optimization and micro-fulfillment centers. There is also investment in own delivery networks by retailers to address increasing customer needs. The need for fast, reliable, and inexpensive last-mile delivery became pivotal to success in online retailing in Iran. This shift is prompting greater collaboration between e-commerce platforms and logistics providers, serving as a strong driver of Iran logistics market growth.

Rapid Infrastructure Investment

Iran has been steadily increasing investment in transport infrastructure to enhance its logistics capabilities. Strategic projects include the development and modernization of highways, expansion of the national rail network, and upgrades at key ports like Chabahar and Bandar Abbas. For instance, in April 2025, Iran's private sector secured agreements with the government to invest over 640 trillion rials in railroad infrastructure, including 2,000 passenger cars and cargo wagons. An additional 30 trillion rials will fund the purchase of 650 freight wagons for transporting agricultural products. Long-term plans aim to increase freight volume to 40 Million Tons. Chabahar, in particular, is gaining attention due to its position outside the Strait of Hormuz and its potential to handle Indian and Central Asian trade. Bandar Abbas remains Iran’s busiest port, and improvements here aim to reduce congestion and boost container throughput. Rail connectivity is also improving, with efforts to link major industrial and trade hubs across the country. These upgrades aim to reduce transit times, lower freight costs, and support regional trade corridors. The overall effect is a more efficient supply chain system, which continues to attract domestic and regional business, contributing to market growth.
