We’re getting World Cup fever at Panjiva. So we took a look at shipments of soccer balls to the United States. Sure enough, shipments surged in May:
Interestingly, there was a mini-surge in FIFA shipments as well over the last couple of months. FIFA Cabernet, of all things, accounts for many of the shipments.
However, anyone hoping that soccer will one day be America’s national pastime should take note… In May, the total number of shipments that included the names of sports were as follows:
- 362: Basketball
- 438: Soccer
- 548: Football
- 922: Baseball
