This map displays the growth potential of the global cargo industry.
The United Nations developed a 4-tier system for ranking the 196 countries of the world, with countries like the US being Tier 1 as shown in dark blue.
There are currently only 59 Tier 1 countries having a combined population of 1.2 billion.
That represents only 16% of the world’s total population of 7.6 billion.
In other words, 84% of the world’s population, or 6.4 billion people, live in developing countries which are striving for access to the same goods and services that we in the developed world take for granted – that’s a lot of growth potential!
