One of the major trends influencing the market is the consolidation in the industry. Major players are acquiring local players to increase their portfolio of offerings, which is creating an anti-competitive scenario. More and more carriers and large forwarders are acquiring regional freight forwarders in an attempt to integrate a range of services and broaden their portfolio of offerings and gain access to regional markets.

According to the report, one of the major drivers of this market is that it enables the immediate delivery of items that have low shelf life. The requirement for emergency and express delivery of cargo over long distances has become imperative with the evolution of the supply chain structure. Companies that work according to the JIT principle of manufacturing need emergency replenishment of their exhausted stocks when new orders are placed.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges that the market faces is the rapid increase in mode shifting. Airfreight is losing market share to other modes because of the costs associated with air cargo movement processes and a change in the mix of products that are being traded.
