The US Logistics Manager’s Index dropped to 54.2 in December 2025, marking the slowest expansion since April 2024. This decline is attributed to significant contractions in inventory levels and warehousing markets. Inventory levels fell sharply, while warehousing capacity increased, leading to record low utilization rates. Transportation metrics also reflected this trend, with transportation capacity contracting and prices rising. Overall, firms are pushing inventories downstream towards consumers, impacting logistics performance.
