1.70M TEUs - 2.20M TEUs
Use the actual January 2026 TEU volume (in millions) reported in the February or March 2026 Global Port Tracker report from NRF/Hackett Associates.
NRF forecasts January 2026 at 2.0M TEUs, down 10.3% year-over-year. January is historically weak, but a reading below 1.85M would signal severe demand destruction from tariffs. Above 2.10M would indicate inventory restocking is beginning earlier than expected.
