Freight conditions remain fluid. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics noted that the Freight Transportation Services Index decreased 0.4% in June 2025 compared with May 2025, and stood 0.5% below June 2024, an indicator of changing shipment activity across modes that complicates capacity planning and carrier allocation strategies.

Eurostat reports that 45.2% of EU enterprises purchased cloud-computing services in 2023, and three quarters of those buyers used sophisticated services, including database hosting and development platforms, which underpin modern supply chain applications in retail networks. The same statistical program shows 13.48% of EU enterprises used AI technologies in 2024, rising to 41.17% among large enterprises, a gradient that mirrors current retail consolidation and scale effects in digital operations.
