DHL Global Forwarding, the world's second-largest air forwarder saw air cargo revenues increase 18.7 per cent year on year in 2022 to EUR10.4 billion (US$11 billion) while air gross profits improved 48.5 per cent to EUR2 billion. These improvements came despite a 9.3 per cent decline in volumes to 1.9 million tonnes.
Performance across the air business also deteriorated as the year progressed; in the fourth quarter, air revenues were down 22.8 per cent year on year to EUR2.2 billion
Gross profits were up by the lesser amount of 10.8 per cent to EUR421 million and volumes dropped by 20 per cent to 449,000 tonnes.
"The global forwarding market was volatile in 2022," parent Deutsche Post DHL said in its annual report. "Market tailwind continued at the beginning of the year.
"Market volume slowed down over the course of the year in line with the development of the macro environment, which was influenced by factors such as the war in Ukraine, pandemic-related lockdowns in Asia and high inflation.
"Additionally, with the recovering capacity in the air and ocean freight markets, the prices showed a quick decline in the second half of the year."
A shift back to ocean freight - which was plagued by disruption in 2021 - also had an impact on volumes, the company said.
