The share of goods imported by the European Union that are transported by sea has risen from around 40 percent of imports in 2000 to over half in the early 2020s. At the same time, goods imported via air transport and road transport have experienced substantial year-on-year fluctuations, with air transport declining to less than a fifth of goods imported in the early 2020s, likely due to overall reduced air traffic because of the COVID-19 pandemic, while road transport experienced a boost in the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021.
