With the arrival of the peak shipping season in Europe and America, consumer demand in the United States has surged and orders have soared. Taking the first half of 2021 as an example, the number of 20-foot containers sent from Asia to the United States reached 10.037 million, an increase of 40% year-on-year, setting a record for nearly 17 years.
