And the background and reasons for the increase in air freight rate.
From many news on Google, you can understand that many international electronic chips, circuit boards, and core parts of various products are made in China. Many foreign importers have to transport these core parts by air freight. It has been guaranteed that domestic factories can continue to produce. For example, many automobile companies in South Korea, mobile phones, electrical appliances, and core accessories are imported from China to Korea.
Because a large number of shipping companies or carrier have canceled vessels to Chinese ports, and airlines have canceled Many flights to mainland China have resulted in tight air cargo space which imports from China. These importers have to choose to transport by air, pay high international logistics costs, and even many factories in Vietnam, Bangladesh, because the upstream Chinese suppliers’ parts cannot be delivered, resulting in the factory is unable to deliver on time.
It can be seen that the relationship between global supply chains is very complex and the relationship is extremely close.
The cost of shipping products by air freight from China has become very expensive, resulting in a 10% to 30% increase in the cost of product parts.
But if you do not ship the goods by air freight from China, the situation will get worse-without parts, production will not be able to continue, and then lose customers, lose integrity, without guaranteeing delivery time, the importer’s business will fail, and reputation will disappear.
According to foreign media reports, air cargo prices have soared due to increased demand, more than doubled this month, from the US $ 3.65 per kilogram last month to the US $ 6.65 per kilogram. Prices are expected to reach $ 10 per kilo ($ 4.54 per pound) in the coming weeks. Even the prices of some popular routes are changing as per hour, and prices are more volatile in the market, and prices are rising.
