Market segments

Xeneta organizes its freight rate benchmark data into five groups to help you compare your rates against different segments of the ocean freight market.

Market segment	Description
Market high	The rate seen at the 97.5 percentile of the market. In other words, only 2.5% of the market rates will be above the rates seen here.
Market average	The arithmetic average rate seen on the market.
Market low	The rate seen at the 2.5 percentile of the market. In other words, 97.5% of market rates will be above the rates seen here.

You can think of these groups as windows into different sections of the air freight market for specific trade lanes or corridors.
