Leading global transport and logistics insurer, TT Club, and strategic supply chain risk adviser, BSI Consulting, have today published their 2025 Cargo Theft Report, which shows cargo theft is growing rapidly worldwide.
The report reveals a deepening and increasingly complex global cargo theft crisis, driven by organized criminal networks deploying ever more sophisticated tactics across road, rail, sea, and digital channels.
According to the report, Brazil, Mexico, India, the United States, Indonesia, Chile, China, Germany, and South Africa ranked as the world’s top countries for recorded cargo theft incidents.
Ecuador experienced one of the sharpest increases of any nation, with theft cases nearly doubling as gang-related violence intensified in coastal provinces.
Food and beverage products led all stolen commodity categories, followed by agriculture, electronics, automotive parts, construction materials, and metals.
Trucks remain the dominant target, accounting for roughly 70% of all incidents globally, and more than a fifth (22%) of global cargo theft incidents involved the cooperation of insiders.

These locations are made up of warehouses, trucking terminals, self storage facilities, truck repair shops and more.
“We’ve created a new way to add truck parking capacity at scale and at speed, without waiting on construction, leasing, or new infrastructure dollars,” said Evan Shelley, founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club.
