The Indian air cargo market is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating an annual increase of 6-9% over the next five years, fueled by economic expansion and strategic initiatives. Despite outperforming global growth rates, the sector faces challenges such as infrastructure limitations and regulatory hurdles. Key players emphasize the need for diversification of cargo handling across more airports and expanding freighter fleets to reduce reliance on foreign operators. While e-commerce and exports drive demand, addressing operational risks and aligning with global trends are crucial for sustained growth and competitiveness.
