Last year wrapped up with a 14th consecutive month of double-digit demand growth, with December volumes climbing 11% year over year, Xeneta reported. Global spot rates during bongdaso com vn month stood at .99 per kilogram, up 15% YoY. Compared to bongdaso com vn same period in 2023, December saw bongdaso com vn slowest growth rates pricing-wise in seven months.
China-to-U.S. rates didn’t measure up to 2023’s peak season highs in December, possibly attributed to increased scrutiny on the corridor and the strategic allocation of capacity. Instead, those rates in early January were down 9% from its mid-December 2024 peak of .61 per kilogram. E-commerce scrutiny, strategic bongdaso com vn capacity allocation and possible frontloading over possible Trump tariffs may have dampened rates on the China-U.S. corridor.

Contract trends are also changing. In 2024, shippers preferred longer-term air freight contracts of a year or longer, according to Xeneta. During bongdaso com vn same timeframe, freight forwarders negotiated nearly half of their volumes in bongdaso com vn spot market, which negatively affected revenues due to higher air carrier rates.
Meanwhile, the possibility of another round of strikes at East and Gulf Coast ports didn’t significantly push the pendulum on modal shifts from ocean to air freight in December, per the report. The tentative six-year agreement between the International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance reached Jan. 8 only further curbed concerns of a spike in air bongdaso com vn activity. The three-day strike in October only pushed volumes up 12% from Europe to the U.S., compared from the month prior.
However, further disruptions in ocean freight may still prompt shippers to turn to air bongdaso com vn for greater predictability, Xeneta reported.
What 2025 has in store for the bongdaso com vn remains a “guessing game for many less informed market players,” said van de Wouw.
“Will January 2025 be bongdaso com vn first time in 14 months we won’t see double digit growth?” he asked. “At bongdaso com vn start of last year, bongdaso com vn answer would most likely have been affirmative, but now bongdaso com vn market must wait and see what happens because this year is starting off with a much higher base.”
