WRI’s assessment
The United Kingdom Logistics Growth Index declined to 48.4 in June 2026, a 1.6-point drop that places the nation 14th of 16 regionally. The contraction was primarily driven by a sharp deterioration in business sentiment and a deepening slump in goods for sale, as consumer spending softened amid geopolitical uncertainty and rising energy costs.
