Slow recovery continues from the new lunar year
The colors of the air cargo around the world continued to recover slowly from what was a decrease in the new lunar year (LNY) from last year, according to the latest weekly numbers of the WorldADACD market data, although it is too early to have a “natural” or health demand this year.
After the global load decreased by -13 % during the LNY period of this year, the whine increased all over the world with a consecutive +3 % week per week (WOW). This compares with a total decrease of about -20 % in the weeks surrounding LNY in 2024, followed by a joint recovery of +15 % during the next two weeks.
The Angen of Asia and the Pacific of the Pacific this year recorded a 15 % recovery of 15 % per week 7 (from 10 to 16 February), after decreasing by 35 % of the pre -LNY in the week 4 to its lowest point, in the fifth week. It compares with a decrease of approximately -60 % at some point equivalent to last year on a degree basis of more than 500,000.
Lower decline
The decline in the whining in the air freight during the lunar year (LNY) is relatively shallow compared to the past year. The general increasing trend of demand for e -commerce since last year may have contributed to this dynamic, but the basic trends and factors of the mine of air freight from China and Hong Kong are somewhat complicated this year and remain difficult to explain, especially until we are clear from the effects of LNY and modern Us Minimis, and repercussions.
The pelvis or the lowest point in LNY was of China’s origin and Hong Kong in 2025 in the week 6 (from 3 to 9 February), when the Aingh was about -45 % less than its level two weeks ago. This is compared with a decrease in about two-thirds (-66 %) at the lowest point in the LNY cycle in 2024 (week 7), relative to its level two weeks ago.
More analysis indicates that there was no significant difference in the performance represented by Chinese and Hong Kong shipments to Europe or North America – or indeed to the United States of America. Therefore, there is no real evidence, in terms of data, at a large level of “front loading” activity in anticipation of the expected definitions in the United States of America on Chinese air charges-and not to wear the grease caused by the “United States” in China, which leads to unexpectedly low folders from China/HKG to the United States of America. But it is also possible that these factors have canceled each other, to some extent.
The entertainment of China and Hong Kong to the United States of America was dramatically a week 7, recovered +40 % and +27 %, respectively, a week per week. However, it remains low (about -20 % and -30 % less, respectively) compared to its average levels in January.
Space rates rise from APAC origin
On the pricing aspect, the average interest rates of Asia and the Pacific in the week 7 of $ 3.54 per kilo of one +2 %, Wow, up +9 % of this time last year. From Asia Pacific to Europe, the rates were more or less in the week 7 at $ 4.13 per kilo, with Hong Kong prices to Europe amounted to $ 4.95, and China prices to Europe regains about 10 %, Wow, to reach $ 4.34 per kilo.
Meanwhile, the average interest rates from Asia and the Pacific to the United States have regained about +4 % per week 7 to lead at $ 4.81 per kilo, although prices from China to the United States continued to decline, another lost by -6 %, Wow, and decreased to $ 3.74 per kilo. But the rates of Japan and South Korea to the United States of America are strengthened to $ 7.30 per kilo (+28 %, Wow) and $ 5.88 per kilo (+13 %, Wow), respectively.
