This overspilled to the first half of 2010, where double-digit industry growth continued to fuel inventory re-stocking, according to Transport Intelligence (Ti).
Ti's says the air freight forwarding industry grew year-on-year by 38 per cent during the first half of 2010, while ocean forwarding grew by 13 per cent.
Ti analyst John Manners-Bell said Ti expected volumes to moderate in the next six months, followed by a period of lower growth.
Some air and sea forwarding markets - most notably Europe - will not return to 2008 pre-recession levels until after 2013, he added.
