Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Japan Freight and Logistics Market
The escalating geopolitical tensions hindered the growth of the Japan Freight and Logistics Market. Japan has had cordial trade relations with Russia, with petroleum products and oil being the major importing goods. It also imports other products such as machinery, nuclear reactors, rubber, plaster, lime, and cement, which necessitates freight and logistics services in the country to transport these products. However, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Japan imposed sanctions on Russia, which hampered the import and export activities between the two countries. Japan ceased the export of goods, such as semiconductors, to Russia, which directly impacted the demand for Japan freight and logistics market.
