然而,地緣政治不穩定給市場擴張帶來了巨大挑戰,它擾亂了現有的貿易路線,並增加了營運成本。這種不確定性使運力規劃變得複雜,阻礙了全球貿易的順暢流通,並迫使企業適應頻繁變化的法規。儘管有這些障礙,某些產業依然保持強勁勢頭。例如,國際航空運輸協會(IATA)報告稱,2024年9月全球航空貨運需求較去年同期成長了9.4%。
跨境電商的蓬勃發展正成為全球貨運代理市場的主要驅動力,從根本上重塑物流需求。隨著消費者擴大從國際市場訂購商品,貨運代理被迫調整其網路,以適應高頻次、時效性強的小包裹運輸。這項轉變顯著提升了對航空貨運服務的依賴,以滿足現代零售業的快速配送需求,同時也催生了對先進追蹤能力的需求。國際航空運輸協會(IATA)2024年7月發布的《航空貨運市場分析報告》印證了這一趨勢:受電商成長和海運限制的推動,2024年5月全球航空貨運需求年增14.7%。為滿足此需求,航空業正在擴大基礎設施,預計2024年5月的貨運噸公里(CTK)將成長6.7%。
同時,不斷擴大的國際貿易量和全球化仍然是市場成長的核心驅動力。儘管面臨地緣政治挑戰,商品貿易的復甦正在重振海運和陸運貨運代理服務的需求。貨運代理商在引領貿易復甦、管理海關事務以及為出口商重建全球聯繫而最佳化多式聯運解決方案方面發揮著至關重要的作用。此次復甦提供了穩定的收入基礎,超越了疫情帶來的波動。根據世界貿易組織(WTO)2024年4月發布的《世界貿易展望與統計》報告,預計2024年全球商品貿易量將成長2.6%,顯示市場正在穩步復甦,這將支撐該產業的成長動能。
地緣政治不穩定為全球貨運市場的發展帶來了重大障礙,因為它為現有的物流網路注入了不確定性。關鍵航運區域的衝突迫使營運商放棄標準航線,轉而選擇更長但更安全的路線,導致運輸時間和營運成本增加。這種波動性使貨運公司難以保證交貨時間,並迫使企業將資金用於應對波動的保險和燃油額外費用,而不是投資於運力擴張。
這項重要海上咽喉要道的中斷凸顯了這個問題對貿易流通的嚴重性。根據聯合國貿易和發展會議(貿發會議)的數據,由於區域安全問題,2024年蘇伊士運河的每週貨櫃船通行量較去年同期下降67%。運力的急劇下降迫使貨運公司不斷重新評估其供應鏈策略。因此,由於資源被用於應對風險和吸收與動盪的貿易環境相關的成本,該行業的擴張潛力受到限制。
在日益嚴格的環境法規和托運人對碳中和供應鏈的需求不斷成長的背景下,實施永續物流和脫碳策略已成為關鍵的營運重點。貨運代理商正在加速採用綠色解決方案,例如永續航空燃料 (SAF) 和電動車,以減少其運輸營運對環境的影響。這種轉變正成為物流公司與具有環保意識的跨國公司簽訂長期合約的競爭優勢。根據德迅集團 (Kuehne + Nagel) 於 2025 年 4 月發布的 2024 年年度報告,該公司航空物流部門將在 2024 年採購 2,900 萬公升 SAF,比上年成長 21%,這表明該行業正致力於減少碳足跡。
同時,數位轉型和加速的流程自動化正在改變產業傳統的服務模式。供應商正從人工紙本報價流程轉向動態的、原生數位化的平台,這些平台提供即時定價和預訂功能。這種技術變革簡化了運營,減少了交易摩擦,並透過提供跨運輸方式的即時運力查詢,提升了客戶體驗。根據Freightos於2025年4月發布的《2025年線上貨運現況》報告,全球一半的領先貨運代理商和五海運承運商中的四家都提供即時線上貨運報價服務,這與2015年的情況截然不同,當時沒有一家主要供應商提供此類數位化服務。

However, geopolitical instability poses a significant challenge that may hinder market expansion by disrupting established trade routes and causing volatility in operational costs. This uncertainty complicates capacity planning and impedes the seamless flow of global commerce, forcing companies to frequently adapt to changing restrictions. Despite these hurdles, specific sectors remain resilient; for instance, the International Air Transport Association reported that global air cargo demand rose by 9.4 percent in September 2024 compared to the same month in the previous year.
Market Driver
The surge in cross-border e-commerce serves as a major catalyst for the Global Freight Forwarding Market, fundamentally reshaping logistics requirements. As consumers increasingly order products from international marketplaces, forwarders must reconfigure their networks to handle high-frequency, time-sensitive parcel shipments. This shift has significantly increased reliance on air cargo services to meet modern retail delivery speeds while necessitating advanced tracking capabilities. Highlighting this trend, the International Air Transport Association's 'Air Cargo Market Analysis' from July 2024 noted a 14.7 percent year-over-year rise in global air cargo demand for May 2024, driven by e-commerce growth and maritime shipping constraints. To support this volume, the industry is scaling infrastructure, with available cargo tonne-kilometers increasing by 6.7 percent in May 2024.
Concurrently, the growth in international trade volumes and globalization remains a core driver of market expansion. Despite geopolitical difficulties, the recovery of merchandise trade is revitalizing demand for freight forwarding services across sea and land routes. Forwarders are essential in navigating this recovering trade environment, managing customs brokerage, and optimizing multimodal transport solutions for exporters re-establishing global connections. This recovery offers a stable revenue baseline, moving beyond pandemic-era volatility. According to the World Trade Organization's April 2024 'Global Trade Outlook and Statistics' report, world merchandise trade volume is projected to grow by 2.6 percent in 2024, signaling a robust recovery that underpins the industry's trajectory.
Market Challenge
Geopolitical instability presents a substantial barrier to the progress of the global freight forwarding market by introducing unpredictability into established logistics networks. When conflicts erupt in key transit regions, operators are forced to abandon standard shipping lanes in favor of longer, more secure routes, which increases transit times and operational expenses. This volatility complicates the ability of freight forwarders to guarantee delivery schedules and forces companies to divert capital toward covering fluctuating insurance and fuel surcharges rather than investing in volume growth.
The disruption of critical maritime chokepoints illustrates the severity of this issue on trade flows. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, weekly container ship transits through the Suez Canal declined by 67 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year due to regional security concerns. Such drastic reductions in capacity availability require freight forwarders to constantly realign their supply chain strategies. Consequently, the sector faces restricted expansion potential as resources are consumed by the need to manage risk and absorb costs related to unstable trade environments.
Market Trends
The adoption of sustainable logistics and decarbonization strategies has become a critical operational priority, driven by tightening environmental regulations and shipper demands for carbon-neutral supply chains. Freight forwarders are increasingly integrating green solutions, such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and electric vehicles, to mitigate the environmental impact of transport operations. This shift is becoming a competitive differentiator for logistics providers aiming to secure long-term contracts with eco-conscious multinational corporations. According to Kuehne+Nagel's 'Annual Report 2024', released in April 2025, the company's air logistics division sourced 29 million liters of SAF in 2024, representing a 21 percent increase compared to the previous year and highlighting the sector's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
Simultaneously, the acceleration of digital transformation and process automation is reshaping the industry's traditional service models. Providers are moving away from manual, paper-based quoting processes toward dynamic, digital-native platforms that offer instant pricing and booking capabilities. This technological evolution streamlines operations, reduces transactional friction, and enhances the customer experience by providing immediate access to capacity across various transport modes. According to Freightos' 'The State of Online Freight 2025' report from April 2025, half of the top global freight forwarders and four of the five largest ocean carriers now offer instant online freight quotes, marking a significant departure from 2015 when no major provider offered such digital capabilities.
