The Companies Most Exposed to the Port Strike 🚢
What We’re Showing
This graphic shows the companies most impacted by the U.S. port strike, based on data from Import Genius & Arbor Data Science via Liz Ann Sonders.
Figures represent the top companies by twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) imported between September 2023 and September 2024.
Key Takeaways
- Walmart, IKEA, and Samsung stand to be the most affected companies by the International Longshoremen's Association strike at 14 major ports on the East and Gulf coasts.
- The auto industry is also highly vulnerable, comprising five of the top 15 companies by TEU imports last year.
- Consumers are unlikely to face severe shortages if the strike ends within a couple weeks, but a prolonged stoppage lasting over a month could lead to shortages and price increases, especially for perishable goods and automobiles.
