Number of Cargo Thefts Up 18% in 2025, Value of Stolen Goods Up 60%

In 2025, confirmed cargo theft incidents in the U.S. climbed about 18% while the total value of stolen goods surged roughly 60% year-over-year—driven by organized criminal groups targeting higher-value freight such as food products, metals, and technology hardware.

These escalating supply chain losses underscore growing risk and cost pressures for shippers, carriers, and logistics partners, highlighting the importance of robust security solutions and strategic planning for businesses that depend on reliable freight movement.
