The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) Planning and Research Division has released its official airfreight forwarder statistics for the first half of 2025 (January to June). The data reveals a robust domestic logistics sector, with the industry handling a total of 48.05 million kilograms in chargeable weight.

The report highlights AP Cargo Logistics Network Corp. as the clear market leader, commanding a significant 31.3% of the total market share with over 15 million kilograms moved. This puts the company well ahead of its nearest competitors, demonstrating a strong grip on the country’s supply chain infrastructure.

Rounding out the top five industry performers are:

  1. AP Cargo Logistics Network Corp: 15,040,971 kg (31.3%)

The top five players combined account for approximately 62.9% of the total domestic airfreight volume, indicating a high level of market concentration among established logistics giants.

The H1 2025 data shows a preference for Consolidations, which accounted for 53.24% (25,587,939 kg) of the total volume. Direct Shipments followed closely at 46.7% (22,445,428 kg), while Breakbuilding represented a niche segment of the market.

Beyond the top tier, the report identifies a vibrant ecosystem of mid-sized and specialized forwarders. Notable performers include JRS Business Corporation (5.24%) and Nonpareil International Freight & Cargo Services (2.86%). The presence of specialized players like Pharmaserv Express (focused on cold chain and pharmaceuticals) and Worklink Services, Inc. highlights the diverse needs of the Philippine economy, from e-commerce to essential medical supplies.

These statistics underscore the vital role of airfreight in the Philippine economy, particularly in an archipelagic nation where rapid logistics are essential for trade and commerce. As the industry moves into the second half of 2025, stakeholders look toward the peak “Ber” months to potentially drive even higher volumes.
