Despite promising developments in land and sea transports, air freights continue to enjoy the reputation of being the quickest and most efficient way to deliver goods. Airlines increasingly co-operate with logistics firms to develop supply chains that comprise freight forwarding, storage, handling, customs clearances amongst others. According to different estimates, despite all the adverse factors like diminishing global trade volumes and weakening economic activity that battered it recently, air freight is poised to surge forward with increasing demand for manufactured exports and technological changes in the supply chain.

During the outbreak of the global pandemic in 2020, the logistics industry nosedived seriously. Volumes of air freight fell through the roof as international lockdowns basically paralyzed the market. With the national and international flights grounded, the capacity in air freight took a nose-dive. Carriers, thus, adjusted to this reality through various transformations, such as an increase in chartered flights, allowing at least the moving of essential goods amidst the pandemic.

Air cargo has remained one of the prime propellers of global economic development. It is regarded as very fast, and its ability to move valuable and temperature-sensitive commodities, such as vaccines, with utmost speed and efficiency across the globe, cannot be found elsewhere. Undeniably, within the pharmaceutical industry, the use of air freight assumes the commitment of timely and secure transportation of valuable medications that are life-saving in nature.

With its particular reliance on China, the Asia-Pacific region remains the manufacturing hub of most goods in the global air freight market. However, over time, there is a gradual shift of manufacturing into countries like India and Vietnam. Due to the improvement in technology within this region, countries such as Japan, South Korea, and India now lead the improvement in the quality and efficiency of their products and services as well. Such growth is supported by huge infrastructural developments that are supposed to increase output across various industries.

The growth of the air freight market in the Middle East is also very impressive, spurred by huge investments in its non-petroleum sectors. In countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, the regional development is impelled by different vision initiatives. As this region tries to decrease dependence on fossil fuels, air freight companies focus their development strategy on enhancing the manufacturing and service sectors to cater to regional and global demand.

The pharmaceutical and medical devices industries, even while being highly costly, continue to be in high demand for this air freight service. The rise of just-in-time production and the surge in demand for timely delivery of perishables continue to drive demand for air freight services globally.
