What's Inside

The Covid-19 pandemic has upended various aspects of the retail supply chain and has resulted in a high level of US imports. We explore the impact of this on ports and the rest of the supply chain.

This report discusses insights around the following key metrics:

• Global freight costs, as recorded by the Freightos Baltic Index
• The value and year-over-year growth of consumer goods imports
• Measurements and year-over-year growth of waterway tonnage, international air cargo and truck tonnage

We also present examples of how retailers globally have responded to disruptions in the supply chain, including highlights from Albertsons, ASOS, Big Lots, Gap, IKEA and Urban Outfitters.
