Market Report July 2025 | Europe

The July 2025 Noatum Logistics Europe Market Report is now available, providing a detailed analysis of the forces shaping freight and logistics across ocean, air, road, contract logistics, and warehousing.

While the global economy continues to grow the logistics sector faces an increasingly complex landscape. From deepening Asia–Europe port congestion to the carrier battle to support transpacific ocean rates, the second half of 2025 demands agility and strategic planning.

Key insights from this month’s report include:

• Ocean Freight: Asia–Europe rates climb as congestion worsens, while Far East–US rates fall under oversupply.

• Air Freight: Asia–US lanes remain strong; Europe–North America faces rate pressure.

• Road Freight: An unexpected summer slowdown challenges haulage markets despite easing fuel costs.

• Contract Logistics: eCommerce and automation drive growth, but UK road freight costs remain high.

• Warehousing: UK demand surges 34% QoQ as automation and mega-warehouses reshape the sector.

With equipment imbalances, shifting carrier alliances, and volatile fuel prices impacting global trade, understanding the current market has never been more critical.
