Express and small parcel market to grow by 9.2% y-o-y.

The Express and Small Parcels 2024 report from Ti Insight – the leading provider of market research to the global logistics industry – shows a situation where parcel carriers are no longer able to maintain revenues through price management, as has been the case in the latter part of 2022 and into 2023. Particularly in developed economies, carriers are posting data that show a decline in both volume and revenue for some of their service lines. For some regions, this largely means a shift away from premium services to deferred or standard services.

Despite risk fears, German manufacturers double down on China.

Germany’s Bundesbank has revealed that investments by German companies almost doubled in China in the second quarter of 2024 to €4.8bn, according to the UK’s Financial Times. The overall figure for the first half of 2024 now surpasses the €6.5bn invested in the whole of 2023, despite the German government’s efforts to reduce the country’s dependence on China – so-called ‘de-risking’.

The global freight forwarding market will expand by 1.7% in 2024

The Global Freight Forwarding 2024 Report from Transport Intelligence – the leading provider of market research to the global logistics industry – shows that the global freight forwarding market continues to normalise, with demand for air and sea freight forwarding services remaining soft.

Challenges arising from a global economic downturn, shifts in consumer behaviour, and an oversupply surpassing demand have led the global freight forwarding market to contract by 1.3% in real terms (holding prices and exchange rates constant) in 2023.

The performance of the market can be attributed to the weakness in air freight forwarding, which shrank by 2.1% in 2023. However, sea freight forwarding has also had a less than desirable performance, contracting by 0.6%. The global economic downturn is the main underlying reason for the disappointing results in the forwarding market.

The Global Freight Forwarding 2024 Report is written by industry researchers, analysts and utilising data from Ti’s GSCi knowledge portal, a data powerhouse with over 1 million pieces of data and analysis.

The US-based private equity company Advent International, which purchased 75% of the equity of what is now called Evri from Otto Group for £UK850m in 2020, is reported by a number of press sources to have been looking to sell Evri for at least six months.

The Dawn of Sustainable Aviation Fuel

This July, a German team tested an aircraft engine’s compatibility with future fuels, starting with traditional Jet-A fuel, which confirmed the V2500 engine’s functionality. The focus then shifted to HEFA-SPK, a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made from reclaimed fats, which significantly reduces carbon emissions. The engine performed flawlessly, and the company joined an industry group to establish standards for 100% SAF, eliminating the need for fossil fuels.
