Future Growth Potential Evolving from Global Supply Chain Shifts
The rippling effect of war tensions has put global supply chains to the test. Persistent looming crises involving geopolitical tensions have forced organizations to shift focus toward building a resilient and risk-proof supply chain. Although the pandemic-induced disruption to supply chains has nearly ended, it has driven a significant change in supply chain and manufacturing operations. Geopolitical chaos, food shortages, price inflation, and impeded international trade situations have exacerbated the risks associated with business continuity. As such, supply chain managers and stakeholders are evaluating the prospect of nearshoring their manufacturing operations to reduce the impact of future disruptions.
Manufacturers are adopting innovative models to compress the value chain and add process flexibility as shorter supply chains can reduce overall production timelines and flexible manufacturing models can address dynamic product demand, thereby enabling consumer satisfaction.
Developed economies are revamping their business operations by bringing them closer to the customer base rather than offshoring while emerging markets are benefiting from the nearshoring trend and creating lucrative business opportunities in their home country.
