Global choke points - Maritime bottlenecks as an underestimated risk factor for the global economy and geopolitics

Bad Homburg, 6/16/2025

Over 80% of global trade is handled by sea. A small number of maritime choke points and critical bottlenecks are of crucial importance for this. However, the majority of these global choke points are exposed to increasing geopolitical risks.

Prolonged interruptions or blockades of maritime bottlenecks such as the Suez Canal, Strait of Malacca or Taiwan Strait would have extremely serious consequences for world trade and global supply chains.

The new escalation between Israel and Iran could soon bring this aspect to the fore!

Find out in our latest analysis why global choke points are a key risk factor for the global economy and geopolitics - but one that is often underestimated. It can be downloaded in German from the download section of this page.
