The 2014– 2019 airline industry forecast

The 2015–2020 airline industry forecast by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) shows that international freight volumes across the globe is likely to increase to 4.1 % CAGR (compound annual growth rate) over the next five years. As a result, emerging economies especially in Africa and Middle East will grow.

Air cargo is important to the world’s economic system. This year for example, more than 35 % of total world trade by value that is equivalent to $6.8 trillion worth of goods which has been transported by air around the world. For this reason, an increase in air cargo sector by approximate 4 % in the next five years is welcoming news as it will result in the improvement of the market performance.

However, despite the positive growth in the airline cargo industry, the overall risks to the economic outlook remain high due to trade protectionism. According to World Trade Organization (WTO), 20 governments enacted 112 new trade-restrictive measures only between November 2013 and May 2014. Competition from rail and sea, volatility of oil prices and geopolitical concerns are some of the factors that could affect airline industry forecast.

To enhance air cargo competitiveness within the transport industry, the air cargo industry is looking forward to cutting down the average transit time by 2020 to about 48 hours. To attain this, the air cargo industry is widening the range of services offered, improving quality and reliability and modernizing its processes.
