Container xChange, an online container logistics platform, is hosting a free for all webinar to discuss and predict the impact of the Chinese New Year on China’s manufacturing industry, labor availability and on trade. The webinar is scheduled on Thursday, 12 January 2023, at 13:00 CET.
The eminent panel of speakers includes Cathy Morrow Roberson, Founder and President of Logistics Trends & Insights LLC, Mr. Sun, Director / General Manager @ CNTRANS and Christian Roeloffs, cofounder and CEO, Container xChange
“The infections in China and their impact on the supply chain is a very pertinent topic for many containers logistics and supply chain professionals in the industry. We know that traditionally the Chinese New Year halts the production and movement of containers for two long weeks (minimum) in China and the impact is generally felt for weeks after across the trade lanes. What we hear from the ground is that the consumer demand is considerably low and hence the impact of a shutdown in China is going to be limited as compared to the last year(s). But we believe it is difficult to predict and therefore, demands a closer look at the data and the market scenario.” said Christian Roeloffs, cofounder and CEO, Container xChange.
“We bring a panel of experts to talk about how the Chinese New Year will impact trade and supply chain in China and for the rest of the world. We are hopeful that such discussions bring clarity to the industry professionals,” he added.
The official public holiday for Chinese New Year only lasts a week and is scheduled this year for January 22 -28, 2023. However, in most previous years factory output in China has been impacted for far longer as many workers take extended holidays.
At the webinar, the panel will cover the predictions on how Chinese New Year will play out this year and how the industry can prepare for the coming times keeping in mind the resurgence of COVID infections in China.
About Container xChange
The container is one of the most impactful innovations in history—using standardization to power globalization and lift billions of people out of poverty. But contrary to the standardized container itself, most processes in container logistics have not been standardized nor innovated — and are still frustratingly complex, manual and error-prone. Combined with thin margins, this makes it difficult for logistics businesses to survive and thrive.
