Global Maritime Chokepoints Impacting Trade Include India Among Key LocationsPreviousNext

Approximately 80% of global trade by volume and half by value is transported by sea, making maritime chokepoints critical to the global economy. While the Strait of Hormuz is significant due to oil and LNG transit, there are 10 other key chokepoints, including locations affecting India. India's economic risks extend beyond oil, involving trade with East Asia, exports to Europe, fertilizer and LNG flows, electronics supply chains, and related freight and working-capital challenges.
