WRI’s assessment
Canada’s Logistics Growth Index advanced to 52.5 in July 2026, up 0.8 points from the prior month, driven by surging commercial sales and firming freight rates. The Business Volume and Transportation indices led the expansion, reflecting robust wholesale and retail demand alongside accelerating industrial absorption and rising spot rates.
