Outside the United States, global demand for Chinese products is hitting new highs. Despite being a major target of U.S. tariffs, China has strengthened its trade relationships across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe in 2025. While China cements its role as a global export leader, the U.S. is increasingly shifting its focus toward self-reliance.
In 2024, China’s exports rose 6%, reaching $3.6 trillion, further widening the gap with the U.S. To put it in perspective, over one-third (36%) of the world’s export containers now carry Chinese goods. China is also expected to see record shipment volumes in 2025, particularly across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
The United States remains the world’s second-largest exporter, recording $2.1 trillion in exports last year. From January to July 2025, Canada and Mexico together made up about 30% of U.S. export demand.
Coming in third, Germany’s exports declined by 1% to $1.7 trillion, while the Netherlands followed with $921 billion.
Meanwhile, Vietnam, Hong Kong SAR, and France recorded the fastest export growth, up 14%, 12%, and 11%, respectively. Vietnam’s surge was driven by strong sales of oil, coffee, and rice, reflecting its growing role in shifting global supply chains.
Overall, China accounted for 14.6% of global exports in 2024, the largest share of any country. In contrast, while several economies experienced double-digit export growth, Australia saw the sharpest decline.

The 15th WCA Worldwide Conference 2026, organized from 9 to 13 March in Singapore, successfully brought together freight forwarding and logistics companies from across the globe. Hosted in one of Asia’s leading logistics hubs, the conference attracted thousands of freight forwarders, logistics enterprises, and supply chain professionals from many countries worldwide.
Air cargo is heating up again in a very concrete way: speed is no longer just a company advantage—it is increasingly a national advantage. IATA recorded strong global air cargo growth and a record year in 2024, and in 2025 several months continued to set new highs in demand measured by CTK, suggesting this is not a short-lived surge.
Air logistics is entering a new cycle. International demand is rising fast, shippers are prioritizing speed and reliability, and exporters face tighter scrutiny on documentation and origin. In this context, the real question is no longer whether Vietnam should expand air logistics, but how to build capacity in the right architecture—one that scales volumes while strengthening Vietnam’s role in regional supply chains.
On March 22, 2026, Glotrans Vietnam attended the 2nd Congress (2026–2031 term) of the Hanoi Logistics Association (HNLA) under the theme “Adaptation – Innovation – Expansion.” The event brought together representatives from government authorities, industry associations, and the nationwide logistics business community.
Concluding the WCA Worldwide Conference 2026 in Singapore, Glotrans Vietnam not only expanded its connections within the WCA network but, more importantly, gained clearer insights into how the global logistics market is operating and evolving.
Recently, Glotrans Vietnam took part in VALOMA LOGFAIR 2026, making a strong impression with its simultaneous presence across three major hubs: Hai Phong, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.
The shipment of food additives was transported in container No. FCIU3301688 (20’), under B/L MPRSMUM1806, on the voyage from Nhavasheva Port (India) to Dinh Vu Port (Hai Phong, Vietnam) on 29/04/2017.
Company T (Plaintiff – the Insured) entered into an insurance contract with Company B (Defendant – the Insurer). After the insured event occurred, the Insurer alleged that the Insured had violated its obligation to prevent and mitigate losses. The Arbitral Tribunal acknowledged that such an obligation exists but concluded that the Insured did not breach it.
Under the insurance contract, the premium was to be paid in three installments, and in all three, the insured party was late in payment. When a dispute arose, the insurer (Defendant) argued that the insurance contract had terminated before the insured event occurred due to the late premium payment and therefore refused to make an insurance payout. However, the Arbitral Tribunal held a contrary view.
