About one-fifth of all air freight globally is made up of cold goods. Additionally, a sizable portion of it is exported. Exporting products to markets outside of the US, particularly those in Asia, is increasingly common and significantly more profitable.

The Eurofreight International Group, with its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, is one of the biggest global freight firms. According to IBISWorld, Eurofreight controlled 31% of the global market for goods forwarding in 2017. It wasn't made accessible in the US until 2008, which is a rather recent date. By growing its global network of airport agents—the network carriers whose agents occupy the area utilised by goods forwarders for the agents' products—Eurofreight allegedly hopes to acquire momentum in the US.
