✈️ Air Freight in 2026: Slower Growth, Strong Foundations
After years of volatility, air freight has recalibrated.
Global demand is projected to grow by 2.6% in 2026 — a sign of moderation and stability rather than rapid expansion.
While e-commerce remains influential, today’s air cargo demand is driven by a broader mix of:
• High-value goods
• Time-critical shipments
• Technology-driven cargo
• Specialized and temperature-sensitive freight
Air freight is no longer just a fast alternative — it has become a structural pillar of global supply chains built on speed, flexibility, and reliability.
As policy shifts and trade flows continue to evolve, the industry has shown it can adapt — redeploying capacity and adjusting to regulatory changes such as de minimis rule revisions.
In 2026, reliability and service quality will matter just as much as speed.
Stability may define the year — but structural demand remains strong.

Australian Beef Exports Shatter Records in 2025 🥩
Australia exported a record 1.545 million tonnes of beef in 2025 — surpassing:
• 1.34 million tonnes in 2024
• 1.23 million tonnes in 2019
December alone reached 147,533 tonnes, defying typical seasonal slowdowns.
What’s driving the surge?
• Strong US demand
• Competitive positioning against Brazilian beef tariffs
• Increased feedlot and processing capacity
• Favourable seasonal conditions
• Growing demand from China for grain-fed beef
Cattle slaughter reached 7.18 million head by mid-December — the highest levels recorded in recent years.
For exporters and freight planners, sustained agricultural strength means continued pressure on capacity, cold chain logistics, and international trade lanes in 2026.
Australian exports remain a key force shaping regional shipping demand.

Carriers Are Making a Cautious Return to the Red Sea 🚢
Major ocean carriers have begun announcing isolated transits through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. While attacks have paused in recent months, security and insurance uncertainties continue to limit a full-scale return.
CMA CGM and Maersk have already conducted select voyages. Others remain on standby, awaiting insurance approval before committing vessels.
A broader return in 2026 could have system-wide implications:
• Sudden vessel arrivals and network congestion
• Additional capacity entering an already oversupplied market
• Further downward pressure on freight rates
However, carriers are not rushing back. Many have heavily invested in Cape of Good Hope rotations, and alliance restructuring plus geopolitical considerations remain key factors.
The question isn’t just if carriers return — but how the market absorbs it.

Container Shipping Trends to Watch in 2026
As we move into 2026, container shipping is facing a landscape shaped by softer demand, geopolitical shifts, and sustainability mandates. Key trends for shippers to note:
• Weak Demand & Decreasing Freight Rates – Overcapacity is driving rates down, making landed costs uneven and forecasting seasonal orders more challenging.
• Tariffs & Geopolitical Risks – US-China trade tensions create unpredictable import windows and spot rates.
• Red Sea Disruptions – Recalibrating Suez transits and alternative routes will affect Europe-bound lanes with congestion, higher rates, and longer transit times.
• Sustainability Push – IMO & EU decarbonization mandates will introduce hidden costs as carriers invest in zero-emission fuels and infrastructure.
💡 Takeaway: Businesses that anticipate these trends, plan strategically, and maintain strong freight partnerships will navigate 2026 with greater resilience.

Port Congestion Disrupts Cargo Movements at Sydney’s Port Botany 🚢
Just weeks into the new year, container movements have been impacted following equipment outages and a surge in vessel arrivals.
Multiple ship-to-shore cranes were taken offline for urgent repairs, reducing operational capacity during peak import volumes. The result?
• Delays to berthing schedules
• Increased yard density
• Restricted truck slots
• Rolled cargo and extended turnaround times
While terminal operators have deployed additional labour and extended operating hours, some downstream delays are expected to continue in the coming days.
For importers and exporters — especially those moving time-sensitive cargo — proactive coordination and contingency planning are critical.
Terminal disruptions rarely stay contained. They ripple across the supply chain.
