We are expanding our data product portfolio with a new Weight Forecast, offering a clear, reliable view of near‑term air cargo demand across global markets and for multiple O&D levels.
We foresee a steady +2.7% global growth in 2026, as shown in the chart below. However, this stability masks a growing regional split. Asia Pacific and Middle East & South Asia will drive the industry, now accounting for more than half of global volume. Meanwhile, Europe, North America, and parts of Latin America face flat to negative growth, especially in Q2. The result is a two-speed air cargo market: dynamic expansion in the East, counterbalanced by persistent headwinds in the West. Our new forecast helps to understand the shifting landscape and supports smarter, data-driven decisions.
The second chart below shows our Q1 and Q2 outlook for China to Western Europe, as one example of the many markets for which WorldACD publishes a forecast.
