Buyerโ€™s Market, Same Old Procurement?

Freight markets have softened, but overcapacity doesnโ€™t affect every lane โ€“ or every sourcing strategy โ€“ the same way.

Even major disruptions behave differently in a soft market, where excess capacity absorbs part of the shock and creates uneven market conditions.

Many procurement teams are still operating with:

  • annual tenders
  • fixed allocations
  • limited re-pricing

This report explores:

  • how overcapacity changes market behavior
  • why disruptions donโ€™t hit all lanes equally
  • where rigid procurement cycles create hidden costs
  • what more responsive procurement strategies look like
