MARKET TRENDS, DEVELOPMENTS, SIZE AND FORECASTS

Global Freight Forwarding 2014

A DISMAL PICTURE BUT A POSITIVE OUTLOOK?

Global Freight Forwarding 2014 © July 2014 Transport Intelligence Ltd

Financially, freight forwarders have not fared well recently. MAT revenues have yet to recover from 2011 highs while average operating profits have been in decline. However, there are exceptions. Those freight fowarders that have been able to manage rates as opposed to those that accept tonnage regardless of cost, are among the successful ones. While freight forwarders look to new markets and industries, economic forces are underway favouring a return to regionalisation from that of globalisation. How will the affect the freight forwarding market? It is still too early to say, but solutions such as multi-modal transportation options will likely be one of the means of survival for this market.

Dependent on an improving economy, it is expected this market will grow 6.4% through 2017. Unsurprisingly, emerging markets will be the leaders in this growth as will the sea freight forwarding sub-segment. The heady days of the air freight forwarding market be over as shippers now appear more rational in their approach to transportation management. Still, for high-value goods, air freight is still the preferred option for many shippers.
