UK Logistics and Supply Chain Confidence Index 2023

This year’s Logistics Confidence Index result is a remarkable recovery from 2023, when we saw our second lowest score ever, showing that businesses believe the challenging conditions of the last year or so may be behind them, and that they are planning for growth, albeit marginal.
With the exception of the Covid bounce-back score recorded in 2021, this is the highest result since H2 2015, reflecting a more stable business environment, with interest rates having peaked, and inflation abating. However, there is still caution around uncertainties, such as wider geopolitical turmoil, and potential policy changes which may arise from the new Government.
