In Northern Europe, Sweden is one of the most important logistics centres and boasts the ninth-largest transport workforce in the European Union. With a well-developed road network spanning about 200,000 kilometres, including 2,200 kilometres of motorways, Sweden is equipped to facilitate efficient freight transport, and the country’s logistics and transportation industry is a big earner. In 2022 alone, around 48 billion tonne-kilometres of freight were moved via the country’s extensive roadways.

Swedish ports handle substantial cargo volumes, serving as vital connections for both domestic and international trade. The Port of Gothenburg is the largest in Sweden. In 2022, it managed around 40 million metric tons of cargo in 2022. In 2023, Swedish ports welcomed around 67,000 vessels, including 50,000 passenger ferries, further illustrating the critical role of maritime transport in the country’s logistics and transportation industry. In 2022, the industry generated revenues of approximately $2.2 billion, with projections suggesting growth to $2.6 billion by 2025 In addition to being a high performer, Sweden also lays the foundation for sustainable practices in logistics. The country has some of the most progressive climate policies in Europe, and the government has set a target for zero net emissions by 2045. The country achieves that through alternative fuels and automation. Remarkably, Sweden has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions per capita in the European Union, at about 0.56 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. While transportation accounts for roughly one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions, Sweden’s transport sector contributes a modest 14.5 million metric tons, showcasing the effectiveness of its environmental policies.
