Navigating current trends
In an era marked by ongoing volatility and instability, navigating global supply chains can be a mighty beast. With new AI platforms and tools emerging on a regular basis, constantly changing trade regulations and a heightened consumer demand for sustainable practices, balancing new expectations while still saving money can feel impossible.
Consumers are driving strategy more than ever, as studies show that they are prioritising purchasing from organisations with clear sustainability measures in place. According to Euromonitor, 60% of all new products which were launched in 2025 clearly display at least one sustainability claim. This demonstrates how consumer preferences are guiding how businesses source, produce and deliver goods.
Organisations now are understanding the value that comes with end-to-end visibility and supplier collaboration – both as a resilience builder but also to unlock new ideas.
Conflicting strategies are emerging, but are demonstrating success when applied correctly. Where some businesses are diversifying their supplier base, others are turning to nearshoring and only utilising domestic suppliers. Understanding which type of strategy would work for individual business needs can feel overwhelming, but at Supply Chain LIVE, leaders will attempt to help clear the fog.
Those hoping to gain insights into the most efficient strategies will not want to miss Supply Chain LIVE: The London Summit.
