US SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS INDEX (US SDI) -- February 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 February 2024, US SDI has slowed down to 0.64 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 South regions have been slowing down over the last several months. By February 2024, they reached levels of less than 1pp above historical averages. Disruptions for the Midwest region have also decreased but still remain more than 1pp above pre-2020 averages.
Among product categories, disruptions for the manufacturing (0.41pp) and durable (0.53pp) product categories have slowed down. At the same time, disruptions for the rubber product category have nearly reached pre-2020 average (0.03pp).
Among countries of origin, disruptions with China (0.91pp) and Vietnam (1.91pp) remain elevated. Disruptions with some European countries have decreased; for example, with Germany (-0.32pp) and Spain (-0.36pp).
