Global retail supply chains were left to count the cost of a post-pandemic inventory glut at the start of 2023, according to the latest Index of Global Trade Health from Tradeshift. Trade activity across the sector dropped 12 points below the expected range in Q1, a two-year low. Demand for transport and logistics capacity also remained low, at 9 points below the baseline, amid signs of a broader economic slowdown.
