Take a look our PMI map featuring the latest manufacturing PMI reading. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is a key indicator for the air cargo industry, reflecting manufacturing activity levels. This interactive dashboard, updated monthly, displays PMI trends, including historical data going back to October 2022 and forecasts extending four quarters or a year out. Colors on the dashboard represent the current state: a PMI above 50, shown in green, indicates expansion, while a PMI below 50, represented in a yellow-to-red gradient, suggests contraction. It is a vital gauge for air cargo stakeholders, directly influencing cargo demand. Historical trends show a strong link between PMI and air cargo demand: higher PMI often leads to increased cargo demand, while lower PMI can signal a decrease.
