Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: “One of the major trends impacting the marget growth is the rising market share of the seafreight industry at the cost of the air freight industry. Hence, there is a shifting customer preference toward using seafreight services.”
According to the report, one of the key factors driving the market is the rising demand from customers for low-cost shipping of huge volumes of cargo. Companies focus more on their core business strategies and outsource peripheral functions to specialized service providers so as to increase their operational efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges that the market faces is the spiraling increase in the international fuel prices. Carriers charge forwarders high freight rates but the latter cannot easily pass on the costs to end-users. Consequently, the players are frequently increasing their service charges because of the rapid fluctuations in oil prices.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
