August turned up the pressure in the global air cargo market, showing double-digit demand growth and a 24% year-on-year increase in spot rates, according to Xeneta. As we look ahead to Q4, all signs point to a busy peak season. E-commerce demand is booming, and the ocean-to-air shift continues to drive growth, especially across key corridors like Europe to North America. With demand outpacing supply, it’s time for air cargo operators to focus on managing capacity and building strategies that can handle the potential volatility ahead.

The airfreight market in Australia has always been somewhat unpredictable, but as highlighted in a recent article by Paul Golland in Air Cargo Week (August 19th, 24), Australia is seeing a 3% year-on-year increase, signaling a gradual return to pre-pandemic levels. This is certainly encouraging news for those of us in the forwarding industry as we continue to navigate and adapt to these evolving conditions. The article sheds light on the fluctuations in our export market. While exports showed minimal growth between 2003 and 2013, they surged significantly from 2014 to 2019, largely driven by robust demand from China. Although recent political challenges caused a decline, there is renewed optimism as the current government focuses on rebuilding trade relations with China, potentially paving the way for future growth. On the import side, anyone involved in airfreight will have noticed an increase in low-value shipments, with space becoming more competitive and rates being pushed up due to the rise in online shopping and the entry of new players like TEMU into the Australian market. Paul Golland and Air Cargo Week also note that most airfreight into Australia continues to rely on passenger aircraft. With the resurgence of international flights, we're seeing an increase in capacity. Even though freighter capacity has returned to pre-Covid levels, the growing presence of Asian carriers, particularly from China, is a positive development for our sector. As we move into the final quarter of 2024, the outlook for both imports and exports remains positive, despite challenges such as fluctuating exchange rates and inflation.

Air Cargo Set for Double-Digit Growth in 2024! Exciting times for the air cargo industry! According to Xeneta’s latest analysis, air cargo is on track for impressive double-digit growth this year. This is a remarkable turnaround from the conservative, low single-digit growth forecasts at the end of last year. Extraordinary Demand: Six consecutive months of significant regional demand for cargo capacity have boosted expectations. Rising Rates: Global air cargo spot rates in May increased by 9% YoY , marking the second consecutive month of growth. Increased Demand: Overall demand is up 12% YoY. Middle East & Central Asia to Europe: The highest YoY rate increase in May was a staggering 110%, driven by ongoing Red Sea disruptions. Maersk’s Update: Tighter ocean capacity from Asia to Europe during peak season, coupled with Red Sea issues, is boosting demand and rates for air freight, including Sea-Air solutions via Dubai, Muscat, and Singapore. 💬 Industry Voices: Jansen Stafford, Cathay Cargo: “The market has been stronger than expected in 2024. If these levels are maintained, we’ll likely see a robust second half of the year.” Niall van de Wouw, Xeneta: “With current trends, double-digit growth is now a possible scenario for the year.” Challenges Ahead: Despite a bright outlook, the US crackdown on Chinese ecommerce could impact the market. B2C ecommerce volumes from platforms like Temu and Shein have been key drivers of demand. However, potential reductions in these volumes could lead to a shift in the market dynamics. Stay tuned, exciting developments in the air cargo industry! ✈️📦 #AirCargo #Logistics #SupplyChain #Ecommerce #MarketGrowth #Xeneta #Maersk #Freightos #CathayCargo Alana Raitt See the full article from The Loadstar / Charlotte Goldstone below: https://lnkd.in/eTaz7x_k
