The Power Behind Global Trade

The Power Behind Global Trade

Over 80% of global trade moves by sea.

But a handful of companies control the container highways of the world.

What does this really mean?

Container shipping is highly consolidated.

A disruption at just 3–4 major players can:

• Spike freight rates

• Impact inflation

• Disrupt supply chains

• Move commodity prices

This isn’t just logistics.

It’s geopolitics + inflation + corporate margins.

When freight rates rise, retailers suffer.

When capacity expands, margins compress.

Next time you see inflation data, remember it may have started at sea.
