Exciting Partnership Announcement: Cross-Border Magazine × IDX

We’re thrilled to share that Cross-Border Magazine and IDX have joined forces in a new media partnership dedicated to driving innovation, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration across the cross-border trade, eCommerce, and logistics industries.

In partnership with ATeM Group and NeX eCommerce, this collaboration will deliver thought leadership and engaging content, bringing together leading voices and expertise from across the global commerce ecosystem.

As part of this initiative, IDX will be featured across Cross-Border Magazine’s media channels and events — expanding visibility, engagement, and opportunities for collaboration across our shared networks.

Market Landscape: Cross-Border Trade in 2025/26

  • The World Trade Organization (WTO) forecasts world merchandise trade volume growth of +2.4% in 2025, with a sharp slow-down to +0.5% in 2026.
  • According to DHL’s Global Connectedness Tracker, global trade volume is projected to rise +3.2% in 2025 and slow to +1.6% in 2026.
  • In the eCommerce arena, cross-border sales are predicted to grow twice as fast as the wider eCommerce sector, and global retail e-commerce sales are expected to exceed US $8 trillion by 2026.

These figures highlight the immense opportunity — and the increasing complexity — facing companies operating across borders. It’s a dynamic moment for content, connectivity, and collaboration.
