What are the key trends making an impact on freight forwarders today? Florian Neuhaus, partner at McKinsey & Company, suggests the following. Sustainably and de-carbonization. Forwarders are actively looking for ways to decarbonize their offerings to satisfy demand from some shipper segments. To move the market and encourage carriers to act, some forwarders are willing to sign volume guarantees. These guarantees enable carriers to hedge some of the investment risk they need to take to decarbonize. Growth dynamics stemming from e-commerce. More than 50% of global logistics growth will be driven by e-commerce over the next five years. Forwarders need to think about what role they can play in this market-for example, more of a consolidator for cross-border e-commerce volumes that are moved by air. |
