Freight Loop - Global airfreight market update
In this latest Freight Loop update, Drewry’s Managing Director, Philip Damas and Head of Supply Chain Advisors, asks Drewry’s leading airfreight analyst, Tom Crabtree for his assessment of market trends and development.
After a strong performance in 2024, the global air cargo market has become increasingly volatile in 2025. Growth has been fluctuating month-to-month and with US tariffs only adding to the uncertainty, shippers have had to adapt and remain nimble.
Beyond tariffs, what other factors are driving the unpredictability? How might airfreight rates evolve in the months ahead and how should businesses weigh air versus ocean transport at this time?
