International cargo transportation market: assessment of the impact of the pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an international crisis that has affected all continents. Measures to prevent the spread of infection provoked the closure of borders and restrictions, which led to lower traffic and to abandon the usual routes of product distribution on a global scale, forcing small and part of medium-sized enterprises to leave the market. The authors believe that the experience of 2020 forces managers of economic entities to focus their efforts on generating various management solutions that help overcome the occurrence of such situations and form a flexible strategy for international product movement aimed at adapting cargo carriers and integrating logistics enterprises at different levels that provide innovative services, which, in turn, will help logistics companies stay on the market.
