For those of you who follow me, you’ll probably know by now where I stand on the market becoming increasingly consolidated. In a recent post, someone messaged me saying, “The top players only hold a small percentage of volumes.” And yes - that number is 35%. It may not sound huge at first glance, and if I’m honest, it surprised me a little too. But that isn’t really the point. The point is this: today it’s 35%. Next year it may be 36%. Then 37%. Then 38%. I think you see where I’m going with this. The market needs more competition. Customers need more agility/options. Graphs like this may look harmless at first glance, but they’re a clear sign of where things are heading. And before anyone comments that DSV has acquired Schenker - I know. The graph is a little old. 😉 #Airfreight #FreightForwarding #Logistics #SupplyChain #GlobalTrade #AirCargo #Freight #LogisticsIndustry #MarketConsolidation
