North America is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional market growth and trends, and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The expansion of the Panama Canal has strengthened the regional market. The expanded canal can now accommodate vessels that are longer, wider, and heavier than before, and large-sized vessels can pass through the Panama Canal; it reduces the transit time and cost of transportation. This has enabled the sea freight forwarders to achieve economies of scale, as the higher the volume of loaded containers, the lower the operating cost. Thereby, driving the growth of the sea freight forwarding market in North America. The trade between NAFTA countries is likely to increase, particularly because of growth in industrial manufacturing and the rise in consumer spending capability. This is also expected to drive economic growth in NAFTA countries.

Further, the growing retail e-commerce market in the US is also contributing to the trade volume in the US. For instance, retail e-commerce sales in the US were valued at more than USD 1,825.3 billion in Q3 of 2023. The growing e-commerce market is likely to drive the demand for container shipping in the US and further boost the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape 

The Seafreight Forwarding Market is witnessing significant growth driven by the expanding global cross-border e-commerce market, emphasizing the importance of efficient freight forwarding services in facilitating international trade. An evident trend in this industry is the increasing deployment of mega-ships, enabling freight forwarders to optimize shipments and enhance logistical capabilities.

However, the market faces challenges such as the upsurge in freight cost, driven by factors including rising air freight charges and the need to comply with environmental regulations to reduce carbon emissions. With a focus on leveraging carrier ships and containers for both full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL) shipments, seafreight forwarders navigate through waterways and marines to transport cargo efficiently across long distances. Despite challenges related to heavy loads and hazardous cargo, the seafreight forwarding market remains integral to the shipping industry, supporting global commerce from the point of origin to destination while adapting to evolving trends in the e-commerce industry and advancements in transportation infrastructure.

Key Market Driver

The growing global cross-border e-commerce market driving LCL volume is notably driving market development. The growing Internet penetration and rising purchasing power parity (PPP) across all regions are the key contributing factors to the growth of the global cross-border e-commerce industry. The US and China are the key contributing countries to the global cross-border e-commerce industry. This market growth analysis in cross-border e-commerce trade is expected to positively influence the volume of sea freight worldwide operations. The LCL seafreight shipments are propelled by the rise in the number of small package shipments. Further, sea transportation is emerging as a preferred mode for e-commerce due to the developments in infrastructure and services designed specifically for the e-commerce industry.

For instance, in June 2022,  Maersk announced the acquisition of Senator International for cross-border logistics to Maersks North American landside logistics capabilities for different distribution models, such as business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C). Therefore, the growing demand for global cross-border e-commerce services is driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

Increasing deployment of mega-ships is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Mega-ships are container ships which have capacities of around 20,000 TEUs or more. The global shipping industry is witnessing a trend of new deliveries and deployment of mega-ships for cargo movement. The factors driving the demand for mega-ships by shipping companies include the expansion of the Panama Canal and growing strategic alliances among shipping companies. This development allowed shipping companies to reduce shipping and operating costs by utilizing big vessels.

For instance, in June 2023, Maersk deployed six mega ships of 9,000 TEU to expand methanol orders. This not only increased the global trade volume but also strengthened the shipping industry. Furthermore, on January 8, 2024, AAL Limassol floated its first six new mega size 32,000 dwt, which has dual fuel compatibility and is methanol ready. Thus, the deployment of mega-ships is anticipated to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Upsurge in freight cost is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The major cost of transportation stems from fuel consumption, as an increase in crude oil prices is hindering the profitability of vendors. The increasing container freight rates are another factor contributing to the high cost of shipping in the market. Due to the disruption in the Suez Canal since March 2021, container freight rates in the global shipping industry are witnessing volatility, posing a challenge to seafreight forwarders and shipping companies to recover operating costs on certain sea-trade routes. 

However, bunker cost is another considerable cost element in the shipping industry, which amounts to around 25%-30% of the total freight cost. The rise in crude oil prices also increases the bunker cost. Thus, the rise in freight rates leads to financial distress among seafreight forwarders, which is expected to pose a challenge to the market during the forecast period.
