摘要：	After experiencing a slight dip in 2020 due to the global pandemic, world trade made a strong comeback in 2021. Driven by a strong recovery in demand due to subsiding pandemic restrictions, economic stimulus packages and increases in commodity prices, world trade jumped up 23% to $28 trillion in 2021, exceeding the 2019 pre-pandemic total by nearly $3 trillion, according to the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). During the third quarter of 2021 alone, global goods trade set a new all-time record when it reached $5.6 trillion, UNCTAD reports. And while the global semiconductor shortage, supply chain disruptions and various geopolitical factors may create a more uncertain environment in 2022, consumer demand for products doesn't appear to be waning. This is music to the ears of shippers that continue to think outside of their domestic borders when sourcing and selling goods. Whether they're exporting, importing, or some of both, these companies need systems that can help them comply with complex trade regulations, navigate the changing tariff environment and facilitate the flow of information, goods and money across expansive, international supply chains.
