SONAR Key Market Insights: Las Vegas

Highlights

Capacity is seeing a sharp tightening in Las Vegas as outbound tender rejection rates rise 4.93% week over week to an OTRI of 15.34%.

Increasing tender rejection rates are part of the capacity crunch, but what creates the issue right now is the falling outbound tender volumes, dropping 53.96% w/w.

Rejections are at the second-highest rate for the past year. This time last year, Las Vegas saw a similar spike in OTRI; however, this year’s is more significant and a greater increase, indicating this could be a new seasonal pattern in the market.
