Ocean transit times surged by double digits on key East–West corridors, air cargo absorbed overflow demand pushing delays to multi-year highs, and the global Delay Index rose 23% year-over-year, translating into an estimated $68 billion in economic impact, as evidenced in Otonomi’s 2025 Supply Chain Disruption Market Report.
