The Xeneta Air iXRT provides an overview of market movements, the key risks and issues to be aware of and insight on how these may develop in the coming weeks and months.
- The global air cargo market is transitioning into its typical low season, with spot rates decreasing by 11% month-on-month in January.
- The ongoing supply-demand imbalance, particularly the cargo rush before the Lunar New Year holidays, keeps the market sentiment high despite the rate decline.
- The uncertainty around Trump’s tariffs and the potential impact of stricter e-commerce regulations may pose challenges for the air cargo industry in 2025.
- Airlines are expected to begin 2025 stronger than last year, but freight forwarders will face tough tender negotiations due to eroded margins and the potential for more short-term contracts.
