Maersk Lowers Global Container Market Outlook Amid U.S.-China Trade War

Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • Maersk revised its 2025 global transport market forecast to a range of a 1% contraction to 4% growth, down from its earlier projection of around 4% growth.
  • The U.S.-China trade war has significantly impacted container volumes, with trade between the two nations dropping 30%-40% in both directions in April.
  • Maersk, which controls 14% of the global container fleet, is less exposed to U.S.-China trade disruptions due to its focus on the Asia-Europe route.
  • The company expects European transport demand to rise as Germany and other nations accelerate investments, including in defense.
  • Maersk projects 2025 underlying EBITDA between $6 billion and $9 billion, with Q1 earnings exceeding analyst expectations due to higher freight rates and cost control.

What Happened?

A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, the world’s largest container shipping company, lowered its 2025 market outlook, citing heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the U.S.-China trade war. The company now forecasts global container market growth ranging from a 1% contraction to 4% growth, compared to its earlier estimate of 4% growth.

The trade war has already taken a toll, with container volumes between the U.S. and China plummeting by 30%-40% in April. Despite this, Maersk remains less affected than some competitors due to its primary focus on the Asia-Europe trade route.

The company also highlighted the ongoing disruption in the Red Sea, which has eased vessel overcapacity by forcing ships to take longer routes around Africa. This disruption is expected to persist throughout 2025.


Why It Matters?

Maersk’s revised outlook underscores the far-reaching impact of the U.S.-China trade war on global trade and shipping. The sharp decline in container volumes between the two nations highlights the fragility of global supply chains amid rising protectionism.

However, Maersk’s resilience, driven by its diversified trade routes and cost-control measures, positions it to weather the uncertainty better than some competitors. The company’s focus on Europe, where transport demand is expected to rise due to increased investments, offers a potential growth avenue.

For the broader shipping industry, Maersk’s outlook serves as a barometer for global trade health, with risks of demand contraction looming unless tariffs are rolled back.


What’s Next?

Maersk anticipates two possible scenarios for the global transport market in the latter half of 2025:

  1. Demand Contraction: If trade tensions persist, global container demand could shrink further.
  2. Trade Rebound: A rollback of tariffs could spur a recovery in trade volumes.

The company will continue to focus on cost control and operational efficiency to navigate the uncertain environment. Investors will closely monitor Maersk’s Q2 performance and any developments in U.S.-China trade relations.
