Xeneta forecast that global ocean spot freight rates could fall 30% in 2027 as container fleet capacity expands faster than demand and vessels gradually return to Red Sea and Suez routes. It expects container shipping demand to grow 2.5% to 4% against projected fleet growth of 6.8%, while long-term contract rates could decline 5%.
Faster growth in vessel capacity than cargo demand, together with restored shipping routes, could ease freight costs for imported feed ingredients. The forecast is bearish for ocean freight rates, though it depends on geopolitical stability.
