Global Logistics Shift: Shippers Now Prioritize Reliability Over Cost
A new survey reveals a fundamental shift in the logistics industry, with reliability now surpassing price as the primary concern for shippers. The study, commissioned by DB Schenker, found that 70% of logistics professionals prioritize dependable delivery schedules over the lowest cost. This change is directly attributed to ongoing global supply chain disruptions, including geopolitical conflicts in the Red Sea and climate-related issues affecting the Panama Canal. As a result, shippers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for certainty. This trend directly benefits the air cargo sector, which offers greater speed and reliability compared to ocean freight.
