DHL Ocean Freight Market Update – September 2025
Growing demand is met by faster growing capacity and trade volatility.
- The Asia-North America trades have eased amid steady global demand and an increase in overall volumes up for the year.
- Demand spikes, congestion, and diversions through the Suez Canal are aptly managed by carriers' growing fleet capacity which saw a 7 percent year-on-year growth.
- Softening spot rates are moving to 2023 levels, in line with softer volumes and cautious carrier capacity management.
