Growth in Africa Freight Forwarding Market driven by Intra-regional trade, Infrastructural Development and New Logistic Hubs in countries: Ken Research

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “Africa Freight Forwarding Market Outlook to 2023- By Mode of Freight (Road, Rail, Air, Sea and Pipeline), By End Users (Food and Beverages, FMCG, Industrial and others) and by Contract Logistics and Integrated Logistics” believe that the Freight Forwarding Market of Africa is at its growing stage. With a high, a number of landlocked countries focus should be on improving the intra-regional trade which would help the freight forwarding market of the continent to grow.
Africa Freight Forwarding Market
Development Projects: In Somalia a concession the agreement was signed between the authorities of Port of Berbera and DP world (international terminal operator) in late 2016. The project had two phases wherein the first focused on operational improvements and acquisition of terminal equipment while the second phase focused on the construction of a 400-meter quay wall with a 250,000 square meter container yard and an adjacent free-trade zone.
Intra Regional Trade: With the help of the African Continental Free Trade Area there comes to an establishment of a single continental market for goods and services which seeks to increase intra-African trade by cutting tariffs by 90% and harmonizing trading rules at a regional and continental level. If the trade agreement turns out to be successful the intra-African trade is expected to boost by 52.3% by 2022.
Focus on International Trade: For an import oriented country like Kenya, it is all the more crucial to participate in international initiatives towards trade relations. Kenya is a member of COMESA and the EAC along with having signed various trade agreements like ACP, AGOA, and AfCFTA. Therefore Kenya has free access to the entire African market as well as the Asian, European and North American markets for a number of goods.
Development of Railways: The railway line between Ethiopia and Djibouti is said to the first electric railway in Africa. The difference in rail gauges undermined the regional integration of the rail networks. Most of the railways used wither Cape gauge or the meter gauge.
Technological Advancement: While GPS and Control Towers are standard practices in logistics in developed countries, it is employed by only big domestic players and international companies in Africa. Supply chain visibility has become an increasing demand of clients and freight forwarders in the continent are also stepping up to new technologies.

How Lubricants Market Is Positioned in Vietnam?
Vietnam lubricants market is currently in its growth stage, with demand exceeding supply and therefore leading to a rise in lubricant price over a period of time. Majority of the lubricant produced in Vietnam is done by importing base oil from neighboring countries such as China, Singapore and Japan. The base oil is then blended accordingly with the required additives, domestically to transform the base oil into the lubricant end product.

A rising middle income segment in Vietnam supported a healthy rise in the sale of passenger cars over the period, leading to a spike in the demand for automotive lubricant in Vietnam. The growth in lubricant demand for industrial applications was stimulated by the set-up of a number of manufacturing and industrial plants in Vietnam, along with a huge chunk of incoming FDI from the manufacturing and processing sector.
