AsstrA: The logistics market will transition to a model of flexibility and strategic planning at the beginning of 2026.

The logistics market in the first quarter of 2026 is characterized by stable demand amid capacity constraints, rising regulatory costs, and moderate economic growth. AsstrA estimates that the global economy is developing unevenly: inflation has generally stabilized, industrial activity in the EU and US remains weak, while China is showing growth. Demand for transportation is expected to be stable without a sharp increase. The company notes that the market has entered a phase where cost management, planning discipline, and flexibility are becoming more important than short-term rate optimization.
