36% Surge in Freight Rates

A sharp increase in tariffs has been recorded in the international logistics sector: global air freight rates have risen by 36%. WorldACD analysts attribute this to an unprecedented surge in global demand and predict that the trend will continue in the coming months.

What is driving this growth?

This spike in rates is mainly driven by increased export volumes of electronics, pharmaceutical products, and other time-sensitive goods. The market deficit and growing interest in air freight are forcing businesses to seek fast—though now significantly more expensive—solutions.
