🔥 Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!
In 2025, something fundamental shifted in the US economy.
The US — the world’s largest importer of goods — didn’t stop spending.
It simply shifted away from physical products.
This year marks the first genuine contraction in US import volumes since the COVID-era surge.
For the first time since early 2023, monthly imports fell below the 2M TEU threshold.
Furniture shipments collapsed alongside a frozen housing market.
And tariff-sensitive sectors like solar were hit with historic declines.
US import volumes in Q4 2025 are projected to shrink as much as –20% YoY — the steepest contraction in the US goods pipeline in over a decade.
2025 isn’t a seasonal dip.
It’s not a short-term correction.
It is a consumption transformation.

💡 Direct result of only ~2.8% of US homes being sold — no moves = no furniture.
