The ongoing conflict involving Iran has significantly disrupted global logistics, eliminating approximately 18% of the world's air cargo capacity. As a result, air cargo rates are projected to surge as companies scramble to reroute shipments and secure limited space. This logistical crisis is acting as a major catalyst for digital freight platforms like Freightos (CRGO), which facilitates real-time booking and pricing. With over 5,000 freight forwarders and 77 airlines connected to its network, Freightos is well-positioned to handle the shift away from manual processes. Analysts suggest that the increased complexity of the current environment makes traditional logistics unviable, driving rapid adoption of digital tools. Consequently, the surge in transaction volumes on the platform could significantly boost Freightos' market share and long-term growth prospects.
