Research
The World Freight Alliance (WFA) has been named the benchmark Independent Freight Forwarding Network globally.The announcement comes as a result of the Institute’s preliminary findings from its research study Independent Freight Forwarding in Global Logistics.
In 1996, 75% of all sea freight volumes were booked directly with carriers, today that number has dropped to 59% and is expected to go below 50% by 2020. Even more remarkable is that it is independent freight forwarders that will enjoy a greater market share of this growth than multinational 3PL’s at 30%.
The findings indicate that one of the key drivers prompting BCO’s to work with independents is their provision of personalized bespoke services combined with access to global independent freight forwarding networks. Therefore for independent freight forwarders, membership of a global network is crucial.
Network membership enables freight forwarders to form relationships with other freight forwarding companies, gain access to their resources and link with their activities all critical in connecting BCO’s to international supply and distribution networks.
