The International Air Transport Authority (IATA) latest air freight market analysis data point to a year-on-year 8.4 percent increase on global freight ton kilometers (FTKs) in February. The increase was largely attributed to increase in shipments of semi-conductor products, pharmaceuticals and cross-border e-commerce. The positive trend has trickled in to every facet of the industry's supply-chain with many freight forwarding and warehouse companies saying business has picked up in every region across the world. This is, of course, good news for an industry that has suffered many months of uncertainties and challenges after its glorious days. How to keep the momentum going, however, remains a challenge with so many changes in global policies and political scenes affecting the flow of commerce in many fronts.

On the contrary, sluggish cargo business is said Middle East, Africa and South Asia to remain ‘stagnant both on volumes and revenues’. With airlines registering an estimated global net profit of US$12.9 billion in 2013 and US$16.4 billion this year, passenger markets will continue to outperform the cargo business, announced IATA. There are several reasons behind this stagnant cargo demand and in addition to the more ‘obvious’ reasons such as high costs and trade barriers, experts underline the adverse impacts of ‘on-shoring’ of production on cargo business. Today, many governments try to revive their economies by supporting local production and imposing protectionist measures that ultimately reduce the demand for cargo activity. And this situation is expected to last for more years to come.
