C.H. Robinson has published its 2027 Freight Market Outlook, naming five major factors that could shape transport costs, capacity and supply chain operations in the year ahead.
Transportation regulations are flagged in the outlook as a key area to watch in 2027.
C.H. Robinson points out that more overall transport capacity does not guarantee that enough equipment or services will exist on every trade route.
The company advises shippers to track capacity and cost developments, put contingency plans in place, and weigh alternative routes, transport modes and logistics providers.
C.H. Robinson's 2027 outlook frames these five factors as possible influences on freight markets rather than confirmed developments, mirroring uncertainty around global transportation in the year ahead.
