In the past two years due to COVID-19 and now the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we have seen an unprecedented disruption of global supply chains which is challenging the predominant global sourcing models that have evolved over the last 30 to 40 years.Below are some highlights from the Q2 2022 Retail Sourcing Report.
Dramatic increases in costs, material shortages, delays in shipments and longer product lifecycles have shown that traditional global sourcing models are no longer viable.
Recent events have made finding more sustainable alternatives to traditional global sourcing an imperative.
Global sourcing and global supply chains are poised to shift more quickly to regional sourcing and regional supply chains.
The Sourcing Report, sponsored by CBX, aims to keep you ahead of the curve by providing facts, insight and analysis on issues impacting retail global sourcing.
