E-commerce in the Americas surged to $1.327 trillion in 2024, driving massive demand for faster and more efficient cross-border logistics. But with port congestion, rising fuel costs, and geopolitical disruptions, are deliveries keeping pace?
New shipping routes vs. ongoing bottlenecks
The Arctic Shipping Route is reshaping delivery networks, cutting transit times between the Americas, Europe, and Asia. However, challenges like the Panama Canal crisis and complex customs regulations are causing delays and inefficiencies across trade lanes.
