Object: The use of logistics centers in the transport sector is a new phenomenon for Kazakhstan, although the logistics sector is developing rapidly in Kazakhstan, as well as in the whole world. Hence, this study aims to review the commodity transportation sector in Kazakhstan, to review the current state of the logistics centers, to evaluate their performances, and to identify their problems and the reasons behind these problems.Methods: We conducted structured interviews with the company officials on the logistics sector and the logistics centers. Results are analyzed with the NVivo package program. Our second question is to identify the relation between the logistics sector and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Another subject is the changes in the data regarding the logistics sector and the relation between these changes and GDP. This relation is analyzed using the X11-ARIMA/88 method and time series.Results: According to our long-term coefficients and error correction model findings, the effect of one period delay and trend of the X13_SA variable were found statistically significant in its relationship with the GDP variable. Also, the effect of one period delay and trend of the X14_SA variable was found statistically significant in its relationship with the GDP variable. In addition, the effect of one period delay and trend of the X18_SA variable was found statistically significant in its relationship with the GDP variable.Conclusions: In conclusion, by successfully implementing logistics centers, Kazakhstan has proved its capacity to provide quality services for any goods in any direction and distance, in line with international standards, and showed that it can create an integrated complex that can provide barrier-free transportation.
