Recently released figures from 2012 have shown that the time has come for independent freight forwarders – such as International Cargo Express – to outshine the multinationals, with many of the major players in the freight forwarding industry experiencing a decline in revenue.
According to an SJ Consulting Group report published by the Journal of Commerce, 2012 saw a decline in revenues as high as 6.8% for a number of major multinational logistics companies, including DHL, DB Schenker, DSV, Panalpina, SNCF Geodis and CEVA Logistics. The independent freight forwarding sector, meanwhile, saw a slight revenue increase during the same period and has gained market share across all major markets.
