Xeneta forecasts container spot rates could fall about 30% in 2027 compared with third-quarter 2026 levels as carriers gradually return to the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Long-term contracts are expected to correct by around 5%.
Freed-up capacity from the shorter Suez route, combined with 6.8% fleet growth against 2.5-4% demand growth, points to excess container shipping capacity and lower freight costs for grain and feed importers, though renewed Red Sea security risks could reverse this.
