The cost of transporting packages is a major concern. As per a recent report by FarEye - 'Eye on the Last Mile 2.0' - there is a shift in strategy from customer satisfaction to a performance-based approach, with cost-per-delivery being the top key performance indicator (KPI) of 78% of leaders in 2023, a significant increase from 55% in 2022. The air freight industry is gearing up for a peak season surge. Shippers need to secure long-term capacity agreements to avoid unpredictable market fluctuations. With e-commerce booming, ocean disruptions in the Red Sea, and rising manufacturing activity, air cargo spot rates have soared 17% YoY. Experts predict this trend will continue through August, with some airlines already eyeing peak season surcharges. To mitigate risk, shippers are shifting towards longer-term contracts, with 28% opting for agreements exceeding six months in Q2 2024.

Air freight spot market rates are expected to rise ahead of the peak season, and shippers and forwarders must prepare to avoid high costs. The Xeneta report highlights double-digit growth in air freight demand, with airlines and forwarders potentially implementing peak season surcharges by the end of August. Shippers with long-term capacity agreements will be less affected by the expected rate hikes, while those relying on spot market rates may face significant premiums.

While all freight markets tend to grow when economic output grows, different air express, air cargo and container shipping freight markets rarely move in sync. Some of this is linked to the inventory cycle, relative price differences, but fundamentally the mix of customers, industry verticals and mix of intermediate vs finished goods have the greatest impact. We have seen air trade and international air express growth lag overall air cargo traffic growth. Containerised trade on the transpac seems to have reached a low point in September last year, but air trade on the same lane has not picked up. #express #aircargo #containershipping #ecommerce Trade Data Service https://lnkd.in/gCD7Wpu7
