Lufthansa expect China/HK demand to rise on new IT product launches

LUFTHANSA Cargo has seen "slightly increasing demand in mainland China and Hong Kong" in recent weeks and that more gains could follow as the year progressed, said a company spokesman.

"September is traditionally a month where new products stimulate demand from the High Tech sector and we expect this development this year again," he said. 



"The same is true for the garment sector where seasonal demand increases are expected."



Air France KLM Martinair Cargo is also expecting a number of major product launches to boost demand in the coming months, said the Flying Typers report. 



"There is an underlying expectation that 2016 will be a big year for tech launches, particularly in the virtual reality, drone and robotic technology space," said the spokesman. "Not to mention new smartphone developments at players like Apple and Google."



Some of the new product launches planned for the last quarter of 2016 are the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset by Facebook, Sony Playstation VR headsets for PS4 consoles, GoPro's Karma Drone, and Microsoft's HoloLens Augmented Reality glasses, although the latest indicators suggest the latter will now probably be delayed until early 2017.
