WRI’s assessment
Japan’s Logistics Growth Index advanced to 52.0 in June 2026, a 1.4-point month-on-month gain placing the reading above its three-month average. The expansion was primarily driven by the Business Volume and Goods for Sale indices, reflecting robust domestic consumer spending and strong external trade momentum.
