It appears from analysts’ reports that fourth-quarter growth will soar — for shippers — on the back of high-tech gadgets being delivered.

A surge in new products, including Apple’s iPhone 5 and Amazon’s new Kindle Fire, are poised to drive up rates for shipping by plane, benefiting companies like FedEx and UPS.

Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon are all offering new smartphones and tablets as they compete for customers in the fast-growing mobile-computing market.

So many devices shipping at once may spur a larger price increase than the 20 percent jump after Apple’s new iPad in March, said Kevin Sterling, a transportation analyst at BB&T Capital Markets.

“This is a new dynamic for the air-freight industry,” Sterling said in a telephone interview from Richmond, Va.

One bank analyst wrote that the iPhone 5 sales alone could add 0.5 percent to the fourth-quarter GDP.
