Retailers still haven’t recovered from the excess of seasonally adjusted inventories in 2022. But the story of inventory rightsizing post-2022 isn't just about retail. It runs deeper, affecting sectors in manufacturing like food products, paper, and machinery. As these sectors grapple with aligning their inventory levels with lower demand, the anticipated rebound in freight volumes remains weak. The ongoing inventory reduction is keeping trucking demand subdued, suggesting that a full recovery will take more time as industries work to stabilize their stock levels and production rates. The takeaway? Inventory rightsizing isn’t a quick fix — and it could be several quarters before it eases. https://lnkd.in/e8SnbMuq #retail #retailers #shipments #demandplanning #supplychain
