The Asia Pacific (APAC) region’s air cargo growth is fuelled by dominant industries including high-tech, machinery, fashion and consumer goods, booming e-commerce sector, and trade agreements like Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Investments in logistics infrastructure and global supply chain shifts have further accelerated demand for airfreight.
“The growth in Rhenus’s operations in Asia has been significantly driven by the post-Covid-19 return,” Ulrich Schorb, CCO WHS Asia, Greater China, Middle East and Africa, at Rhenus Logisitics, stated.
“As businesses resume normal activities, there has been a surge in demand for logistics services to support supply chain recovery. The increased need for efficient transport solutions, particularly in e-commerce and manufacturing, has led to a boost in air and sea freight volumes. Additionally, companies are re-evaluating their supply chains to enhance resilience, which has created opportunities for Rhenus to provide agile and flexible logistics solutions.
“Digitalisation has significantly advanced the APAC market by enabling e-booking and dynamic rate transparency, allowing businesses easier access to real-time market data. This empowers companies to make faster, informed decisions, streamline processes, and reduce costs.
At Rhenus, we harness these digital tools to enhance our customers’ experiences. By offering seamless e-booking of services and transparent pricing, we provide our clients clarity and control over their logistics operations, helping them navigate cross-border trade efficiently.”
Spreading across Asia
The global diversification of operations has significantly contributed to the growth of cargo operations across the Asia Pacific region. By expanding global networks, handlers can offer enhanced connectivity and seamless logistics solutions that meet the diverse needs of businesses. For example, Rhenus has expanded our network, especially with the acquisition of Blu Logistics in Latin America, to enhance connectivity, offering our customers seamless, scalable logistics solutions.
This strategic approach enables us to support clients in tapping into new markets and maximising their growth potential, as we leverage on growing trade opportunities between Asia and LATAM.
This diversification allows them to tap into emerging markets and respond swiftly to shifts in demand, facilitating efficient movement of goods across borders. Additionally, having a robust global presence enables us to optimise supply chains, mitigate risks, and leverage strategic partnerships.
As a result, businesses in the APAC region benefit from more resilient and flexible logistics solutions, driving overall growth in cargo operations.
“With a strong presence in major markets like China, India, and Southeast Asia, Rhenus invests in warehouses and transportation hubs, to ensure efficient supply chain management. Our flexible, scalable solutions help optimise supply chains and keep our customers competitive. For example, we are providing companies, looking at using the airfreight gateways across Asia, solutions to overcome capacity constraints, bypass common routings and other challenges,” Schorb outlined.
“Our expertise in air, ocean, and multimodal transport allows us to meet the growing demands of businesses in the region, while we continue to expand our network and services to support Asia’s dynamic economic growth.”
