A recent IATA report reveals that the global flower trade has significantly expanded over the past twenty years, with the value of air-transported flowers increasing from USD 852 million in 2003 to USD 3.7 billion in 2024. As traditional exporters like Colombia lose market share, Kenya and Ethiopia are emerging as key players, thanks to advancements in air cargo logistics. The U.S. remains the top importer, while improved air freight capabilities ensure quick delivery of fresh flowers globally. The future of this industry looks bright, driven by ongoing investments in logistics infrastructure.
