According to a June 2025 Freight Market Report, the global freight market is facing significant challenges due to increasing tariffs and a capacity crunch. The report emphasises the impact of US-China trade tensions on freight rates, which have been steadily rising as a result. Moreover, the market is grappling with limited capacity, making it difficult for businesses to secure space for their shipments. The report also notes a shift in trade flows, as companies seek alternative routes and suppliers to mitigate the effects of the tariffs. As a leading freight forwarder, RW Freight is closely monitoring these developments.
