Trade shifts are reshaping global trade routes

With the US raising tariffs by 20–30% and the EU responding with countermeasures, the rules of international trade are changing fast.

But what does this actually mean for logistics and transport flows?

  • New routes: many companies will reroute shipments to avoid the highest costs.
  • Regional production: the pressure grows to move manufacturing closer to end markets.
  • Higher prices: tariffs push costs up across the value chain, from raw materials to consumer goods.

In the short term, we see higher costs and more complex logistic flows. In the long term, these shifts may redraw the entire supply chain landscape. The big question is: can the industry keep up with the pace of change?

At Carbomax, we make sure to stay on top of these developments – because understanding change is the first step to navigating it.
