US SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS INDEX (US SDI) -- March 2024
Our monthly supply disruption index (US SDI) combines 200 million shipment-level import records for the US, measuring temporary disruptions in consumer-supplier pairs.
In March 2024, US SDI has slowed down to 0.21 percentage points (pp) of consumer-supply pairs temporarily disrupted as compared with the pre-2020 average. This is a decrease compared to the peak level of supply disruptions in June 2020, which was 2.85pp higher as compared with the pre-2020 average.
Supply disruptions continue to persist with varying degrees across US regions, product categories, and countries of origin.
Among US regions, disruptions for US firms in the West, Northeast and Midwest regions have reverted back to historical averages. Disruptions for the South region have also decreased but still remain slightly above pre-2020 averages.
Among product categories, disruptions have broadly reached historical averages. At the same time, some product categories (such as machinery and appliances) still face somewhat elevated disruption levels.
Among countries of origin, disruptions with China (-1.09pp) have normalized. Disruptions with India (1.99pp) have soared after several quarters of consistently low levels; disruptions with South Korea (2.56pp) remained elevated.
