"'The latest Business Insights survey, held between 16-29 March, found that a hefty 29.4% of transport & storage sector businesses are concerned about the impact of international conflict on their supply chains over the next 12 months.'"
"'This represents a huge escalation in the number of businesses expressing worry over these issues. In December 2025, only 6.5% of transport & storage companies expressed anxiety about the impact of international conflict on their business.'"
"'A significant 15.2% are similarly concerned about the impact of shipping disruption, following the USA and Israel's surprise attack on Iran at the end of February.'"
"'However, although many transport & storage sector companies are undoubtedly worried, even more of their manufacturing and retail sector partners are concerned.'"
The ONS Business Insights survey indicates a notable rise in concern among transport & storage sector businesses regarding global conflict. 29.4% of these businesses are worried about supply chain impacts, while 15.2% express concern over shipping disruptions. This marks a significant increase from December 2025, when only 6.5% were anxious about international conflict. The conflict in Iran and the closure of the Straits of Hormuz have exacerbated these worries. Additionally, 42.3% of manufacturers are also concerned about the effects of international conflict on their operations.
