Business briefing II 2022 - The future of European container trade

The potential future development of major European seaborne container trade lanes is complex to predict. There are many uncertain factors, including the development of nearshoring, trade wars and the rise of e-commerce. However, the analysis of the macroeconomic and demographic outlook of global regions can provide an indicative but valuable outline of the growth and direction of future European container trade.

In our latest business briefing, we take a look at the data to explore the effects: we anticipate a continued growth of European container trade and continuation of the shift of European container trade partners from the West (North America) to the East (Asia) – this will affect the decision-making processes for port authorities, investors, shipping lines and shipbuilders.

This business briefing is the extended version of the article published by Port Strategy in the May 2022 issue.
