On April 24, 2025, the Drewry World Container Index (WCI) showed a 2% drop, bringing the cost to $2,157 per 40-foot container. This is still considerably higher than pre-pandemic rates but reflects a 79% drop from the peak seen during the COVID-19 surge in September 2021.
The global container fleet consists of over 30 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), but availability can fluctuate wildly. Overproduction during boom times often leads to price drops. Both underproduction and hoarding, often seen during crises, can lead to significant price hikes. Seasonality plays a role, too.
From global route disruptions to steel prices and port infrastructure, container pricing reflects the heartbeat of global trade. In 2025, prices are stabilizing, but savvy buyers and sellers must stay informed to navigate seasonal shifts and regional quirks.
