Xeneta, the creator of the ocean and air freight rate benchmarking and market analytics platform, reported that there was lower-than-expected growth in global air cargo demand in January of just 2% year on year, but fears of a trade war over tariffs impacting volumes and growth forecasts for the year are premature.

With our strong presence in the expedited international airfreight business, we note that Xeneta\u2019s chief airfreight officer Niall van de Wouw says this drop in demand was a surprise following the double-digit monthly increases throughout last year. However, he adds that January\u2019s data was impacted by the earlier Lunar New Year reducing volumes out of China.

In fact, van de Wouw sees no immediate reason to change Xeneta\u2019s 4-6% growth forecast for global air cargo in 2025 despite the market\u2019s nervousness over new tariffs introduced by the USA \u2013 particularly on China – and its subsequent retaliation.
