Six supply chain trends to watch in 2025
From cost management to risk mitigation, Scope 3 to new technology, 2025 is expected to present plenty for supply chain leaders to manage.
After several years of building supply chain resilience and visibility, supply chain leaders must now deliver genuine value to the overall business. In 2025, achieving this broader impact will likely require leaders to get very granular about the supply chain’s cost-to-serve, to deeply understand the environmental and social practices of their suppliers, and to pragmatically assess how their technology is delivering on these needs.
In addition, supply chain leaders will need to look up and out, being aware of the uncertainty around geopolitical issues, how emerging technology could bring profoundly change, and how industry transformations will require new operational and workforce approaches. Here, we dive into six key trends for 2025 in more detail.
As supply chain leaders head into 2025, these six trends are expected to be driving agendas and will likely require new ways of thinking, planning, and collaboration. Across cost, risk, technology, ESG requirements, and operations, there will be little time to waste.
