California Ranked # 3 in the U.S.
Colography Supply Chain Competitiveness Index™ (CSCCI)
California combines the busiest container gateway in North America, unmatched global air cargo connectivity, and the largest state economy in the country to create one of America’s most dynamic supply chain ecosystems.
Why California Ranked #3
California’s position near the top of the national rankings reflects an unmatched concentration of global trade infrastructure that few states can match — anchored by a perfect Gateway Advantage score of 100 out of 100.
Rather than relying on one competitive advantage, California benefits from an integrated logistics ecosystem where the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the San Francisco Bay Area’s innovation economy, and Sacramento, Central Valley, and Southern California’s regional distribution strengths all reinforce one another.
That structural connectivity enables companies to move freight efficiently between Asia-Pacific trade and domestic markets, with the Ports of LA and Long Beach alone handling more than 40% of all U.S. containerized imports and moving over $140 billion in goods annually — more than any other state.
