Key findings

Companies face the need to improve supply chain resilience

Rising geopolitical tensions, a changing macroeconomic environment, stricter environmental regulations, and transportation bottlenecks drive changes in supply chains as companies aim to improve the resilience of their production networks against potential shocks.

Digital technologies help to increase supply chain flexibility

Facing the need to improve supply chain efficiency, companies are eyeing cloud computing, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things solutions. These solutions can help to improve flexibility of the supply chains and provide better ability to predict potential supply disruptions.

Manufacturing sector drives supply chain resilience efforts

Industries with long supply chains or producing critical goods drive efforts to improve supply chain resilience. Production localisation, diversification of supplier pool and alternative transportation networks can help to improve supply chain resilience.

Demand and regulatory changes support investments into sustainable manufacturing

Stricter regulations, changing consumer preferences and the need to reduce environmental impact encourage companies to invest into green technologies. Companies are investing into energy efficiency, sustainable packaging and localised supply chains to reduce their environmental impact.

Regulatory dynamics impact business climate

Stricter environmental regulations and changes in macroeconomic policies and trade impact the business climate and supply chains. Companies make product and supply chain changes to meet new regulation and adapt to the new economic environment.
