A CHALLENGING MARKET BUT POSITIVE OUTLOOK?

According to the report, troubling capacity concerns within the air and sea freight markets combined with manufacturers focusing away from globalization and towards regionalization are resulting in changes to freight forwarding strategies and product solutions.

While freight forwarders look to new markets and industries, economic forces are underway favouring a return to regionalisation from that of globalisation. How will the affect the freight forwarding market?

Solutions such as multi-modal transportation options will likely be one of the means of survival for this market.

EMERGING MARKETS WILL GROW 6.7% CAGR TO 2017

Dependent on an improving economy, it is expected this market will grow 6.7% through 2017.

Unsurprisingly, emerging markets will be the leaders in this growth as will the sea freight forwarding sub-segment.
