Xeneta forecasts container-shipping spot rates to average 30% lower in 2027 than in the third quarter of 2026, with long-term rates down 5%. Its outlook assumes demand growth of 2.5%–4% against fleet growth of 6.8%, including capacity released as services return to the Red Sea and Suez Canal, while warning that renewed security threats could reverse the decline.
Expected fleet growth faster than demand, alongside shorter Suez routes, adds shipping capacity and points to lower freight costs; renewed Red Sea disruption could instead tighten capacity and lift rates.
