Global Freight Forwarding 2005

Freight forwarding: a sector in transformation
The freight forwarding market is highly fragmented with low barriers to market entry
and exit. This has historically allowed very small enterprises to enter the market
and compete effectively with the major players, depressing margins. However this
situation is changing as a small number of companies have achieved product
differentiation through worldwide freight networks, underpinned by global
technology. The forwarding sector has also been helped by a surge in international
trade volumes, driven by the economies in the Asia Pacific region, especially China
. This is increasingly changing the way in which this sector is perceived.
