Global Equipment Shortage
Importers or exporters in the United States have gotten to a difficult place in the current market where orders are surging as an economic recovery increases demand domestically and abroad heading into the holiday season, but a global equipment shortage has taken hold. Last week in our newsletter, the big surge in imports was noted, with orders 25% above the same time as in 2019.

Import Freight Market Increases
After a slow first and second quarter that saw a global drop in freight to and from nearly everywhere, the international shipping industry has been growing at a steady clip and has reached new heights this past month. October’s volumes of trans-Pacific freight saw big jumps from September, and now freight volumes are nearly 25% higher than they were a year ago in the same time.
