Logistics company Cargo Force expects double-digit growth in shipments following the implementation of the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The company anticipates higher trade volumes across sectors such as engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, textiles and perishables. It also plans to strengthen its logistics network and expand capacity to support increasing demand for cross-border freight services between the two countries.
Cargo Force has projected double-digit growth in shipment volumes following the implementation of the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), citing increased trade activity and stronger demand for logistics services between the two countries.
The company expects the agreement to boost exports and imports across several sectors, including engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, textiles, food products, automotive components and perishables. Reduced trade barriers and improved market access under the FTA are expected to increase cargo movement, creating additional opportunities for freight and logistics providers.
According to Cargo Force, the agreement is likely to generate higher demand for integrated logistics solutions covering air freight, sea freight, customs clearance, warehousing and last-mile delivery. The company plans to strengthen its operational network to accommodate the anticipated rise in shipment volumes.
Officials said businesses engaged in international trade are expected to benefit from faster movement of goods and lower logistics costs as trade between India and the United Kingdom expands. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in particular, could gain improved access to export markets through more efficient supply chains.
Cargo Force also expects higher movement of time-sensitive cargo, including pharmaceuticals, fresh produce and other temperature-controlled products, requiring specialised logistics infrastructure and handling capabilities.
The company indicated that it will continue investing in digital logistics solutions, operational efficiency and customer services to support the growing volume of cross-border trade. Capacity expansion and network optimisation are also part of its strategy to meet increasing demand generated by the agreement.
Industry observers believe the India–UK FTA is expected to strengthen bilateral trade by improving market access and reducing tariffs across multiple product categories. This is likely to create sustained demand for freight forwarding, customs services and integrated logistics operations over the coming years.
Cargo Force stated that the agreement presents a significant opportunity for logistics providers to expand services and support businesses participating in international trade. The company expects shipment growth to accelerate as exporters and importers begin utilising the benefits offered under the new trade framework.
