Xeneta forecasts global container-shipping demand growth of up to 4% in 2027, against capacity growth of about 6.8%. It expects global spot rates to fall by as much as 30% year on year, with contract rates down about 5% from the third quarter of 2026, while warning that geopolitical disruptions could change the outlook.
Faster vessel-capacity growth than demand would ease freight costs and lower the delivered cost of imported feed grains and ingredients. The forecast is a potential tailwind for buyers, but future disruptions could reverse it.
