The impact of the spread of the new coronavirus on the movement of international cargo to and from Japan.

A review of the three years of the COVID-19 pandemic and an introduction to the trends in recovery to pre-COVID levels!

Three years have passed since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) began in 2020. In the fourth year, 2023, starting from May 8, the classification of COVID-19 under the Infectious Diseases Control Law will transition to "Category 5," the same as seasonal influenza, and there are expectations for an acceleration and full-scale recovery to the "pre-COVID" state. In this post, we will analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the movement of international air cargo and external trade containers (shipping) originating from and destined for Japan over the three years of the pandemic, as well as the recovery trends compared to pre-COVID levels, using two indicators: year-on-year growth rates and growth rates compared to pre-COVID (2019) levels, organized and analyzed chronologically. *Detailed content of the blog can be viewed through the related links.
