For instance, a global economic slowdown in 2023 led to reduced consumer spending and manufacturing output, consequently dampening demand for shipping services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrade policies and geopolitical tensions also play a significant role. Increased tariffs or trade disputes can disrupt supply chains and lead to a decrease in cross-border commerce. This reduction in trade volume weakens the bargaining position of customers, as there are fewer shipping options available or the overall market demand is lower. In 2024, ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and the potential for new trade barriers continue to create an environment where customers might seek more favorable terms due to uncertain demand outlooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEconomic Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipping demand is highly correlated with global GDP growth.
