US SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS INDEX (US SDI) -- June 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 June 2024, US SDI has accelerated up to to 1.81 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 (2.15pp) and Midwest (2.59pp) regions have accelerated. Disruptions for the Northeast region (0.92pp) have slowed down.

  • Among product categories, disruptions persist with varying degrees of severity. For example, disruptions for the manufacturing (2.03pp) and durable (1.99pp) categories remain elevated, disruptions for the non-durable category (1.37pp) barely changed over the last several months.

  • Among countries of origin, disruptions with China (2.66pp) have increased. Disruptions with India (1.14pp) have decreased; disruptions with South Korea (2.76pp) remain elevated.
