Shipping Rate Trends

Shipping Rate Trends

Shipping rates represent the cost of transporting goods across various modes, such as ocean, air, rail, or truck. These rates are influenced by multiple factors including fuel prices, supply chain demand, carrier capacity, seasonal trends, and global trade policies. Because transportation is a core component of logistics, even small changes in shipping rates can have a significant impact on overall supply chain costs.

Fluctuations in shipping rates occur over different timeframes—weekly, monthly, or yearly—as market conditions shift. For example, peak seasons, labor shortages, or geopolitical events can cause sudden spikes, while slower demand or increased capacity may lead to rate declines. Tracking the percent of change in shipping rates over time helps businesses forecast expenses, negotiate contracts, and make data-driven decisions to stay competitive in a dynamic global market.
