After several turbulent years, 2025 brought a fragile sense of normalisation to many cost categories. Prices eased in some areas and stabilised in others. Yet for most business leaders, the feeling is not “back to normal”.
Across freight, logistics, packaging and energy, clients have faced a similar pattern. In this 2025 Wrapped, ERA Group specialists share what they have seen this year and what they expect in 2026.
What follows is not a technical report. It is a CEO-level view of where costs are moving, where risks are building, and where we are helping clients turn uncertainty into better decisions.
What's Inside:
