Dimerco Express Group has published its consolidated revenue figures for December 2025. According to the report, revenue reached NT$ 2.621 billion, representing a decline of 4.6% compared to the same period last year. However, compared to November 2025, there was an increase of 0.5%, marking the highest monthly revenue for the company this year. Air and sea freight volumes grew by nearly 20% year-on-year in December and also showed solid development compared to the previous month, as reported by the company. Nevertheless, revenue growth was impacted by lower freight rates compared to the previous year. Overall, air and sea freight volumes increased by about 20% from January to December compared to the previous year, while the company’s cumulative revenue reached NT$ 29.36 billion, an increase of 4.8%.
Development in the Air Freight Market
In the air freight market, trans-Pacific routes continue to show strong dynamics. Exports from Southeast Asia and Taiwan to the United States are still growing, as noted by the company. Additionally, there is high demand for shipping AI servers or similar products, leading to improved capacity utilization at key hubs such as Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo Narita, and Singapore.
Kathy Liu, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Dimerco Express Group, commented on the developments: „By the end of 2025, several key intra-Asia routes in both air and sea freight have reached historical highs, even surpassing the values from the pandemic period. This clearly indicates that the actual demand for air freight capacity is well-supported and creates a solid foundation for market performance in 2026.“
Developments in the Sea Freight Sector
In the sea freight market, recent developments in freight rates indicate a short-term recovery, driven by shipping patterns ahead of the Chinese New Year and adjustments in shipping companies‘ strategies. However, according to Dimerco Express Group, global geopolitical uncertainties and tariff-related variables remain significant, leading shippers to act cautiously overall.
Catherine Chien, Chairwoman of Dimerco Express Group, commented on market developments: „For 2026, the company will be cautiously optimistic about the freight market. Sea freight will be influenced less by demand and more by capacity imbalances and regional differences, with the risk that a return to the Suez route could trigger new delays and congestion.“
