U.S. Domestic Air Cargo Market
U.S. Domestic Air Cargo Revenue Share ,[object Object]
 FedEx and UPS together controlled 77% of the market in 2008. FedEx and UPS gained more market shares after DHL exit U.S. Domestic market in 2009.Source: Air Cargo Management Group, 2009
U.S. Domestic Air Express Market ,[object Object],Source: ACMG estimates, 2009
U.S. Domestic Express Shipment Growth The 2008 shipment total is up only 19% from 1994. That increase reflects 6% growth per year between 1994-2002. The market size changed little from 2002 to 2007, before falling 14% in 2008. Source: ACMG estimates, 2009
Emerging Trend in the U.S. Domestic Air Cargo Industry The integrated express carriers FedEx and UPS continue to dominate the U.S. market. The U.S. domestic express market underwent dramatic changes near the end of 2008 in response to DHL’s exit from U.S. domestic market. Both FedEx and UPS gained customers left by DHL.  The U.S. Postal Service continues to be challenged by the falling demand for its services, including Express Mail and Priority Mail. A major change in postal regulations recently gives the USPS more flexibility to compete with private sector companies. The USPS alliance with FedEx that began in August 2001 remains in effect. Security issues continue to be the principal regulatory concern facing the industry. The main emphasis today for combination carriers is to achieve 100% screening of belly cargo by August, 2010. Source: ACMG estimates, 2009
International Air Cargo Market
Int’l Air Cargo TrendThe Int’l Air Cargo traffic had sharp decline during the recession Year 2009 ended to be the most difficult ever for the global air freight industry; Air freight showed a decline of nearly 15% (in FTK) compared to 2008. About 15% of the global fleet of freighter aircraft was taken out of service during the 2009 downturn; There are encouraging signs entering 2010 that a recovery is taking place, as traffic levels have rebounded from a low point in the first quarter of 2009. ACMG expects that air cargo traffic will grow 7%-10% in 2010, and there is a good chance that it will recover to the pre-recession peak by 2012. Source: IATA Monthly Traffic Report.
Int’l Air Cargo Revenue ShareThree main types of companies involved in the market – express companies, airlines and forwarders. ,[object Object]
 Despite gains by the express companies, airlines and forwarders retain control of 65.2% of the revenue and 88.6% of the tonnage of air cargo handled in the international market. Source: Air Cargo Management Group, 2009

Int’l Air Express Market ,[object Object]
FedEx, UPS, DHL and TNT are the four major service providers in the Int’l Air Express market.Source: ACMG estimates, 2009
International Air Express Shipment Growth The Int’l Air Express volume growth was steady and substantial from 1992 through 2007 (10% CAGR), followed by a slowdown in 2008 and significant 7% decline in 2009. Source: ACMG estimates, 2009
Emerging Trend in the Int’l Air Cargo Industry Express services are expected to continue growing faster than traditional air freight, which will result in a larger market share for Express in the future.  Low cost airlines are taking more interest in air freight, a business opportunity they have largely ignored in the past. Airlines continue to establish broad alliances to extend their market reach and create global coverage. More open skies aviation pacts are signed and benefit the air cargo operation. U.S. leads the way in aviation treaty liberalization, with more than 90 open skies pacts. The most significant development on the horizon is Phase Two of the EU-U.S. open skies agreement. Source: ACMG estimates, 2009
Industry Outlook
Air Cargo Traffic Growth is Strongly Influenced by GDP Growth RTKs annual growth, percentage GDP annual growth, percentage Historically Air Cargo has Grown 2 Times Faster then GDP
Forces and Constraints for Air Cargo Growth Although economic activity is the primary influence on world air cargo development, other factors must be considered. Source: Boeing World Air Cargo Forecast 2008-2009 edition
