Freight Forwarding & Customs Agents in the UK - Industry Market Research Report


Freight Forwarding & Customs Agents in the UK

Over the five years through 2022-23, revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 2.2%. The dip in revenue is primarily a result of COVID-19 disruptions and the continued effects the COVID-19 outbreak has had on supply chain disruptions. The industry started the period from a low, with freight forwarding rates contracting off the back of falling oil prices and the lower prices for shipped freight due to slow steaming. Furthermore, reduced business confidence in the lead-up to the UK's departure from the EU reduced demand for freight forwarding and customs agents.
