Uncertainties and opportunities in 2024
In its latest weekly market data analysis, ocean and air freight rate benchmarking and market analytics platform Xeneta says that 2024 may herald the start of a new economic growth cycle for the global air cargo industry after last year ended with a +9% year-on-year rise in demand and the general air cargo spot rate reached its highest level in nine months.
Niall van de Wouw, Xeneta’s chief airfreight officer: "To say 2024 is a ‘new dawn’ is perhaps a little too optimistic, but I certainly think it’s the start of a new cycle for airlines and forwarders – and shippers are likely to also appreciate the stability returning to the market so they can more accurately predict the transportation costs for the products they are selling."
