Supply chain disruption is the top risk for manufacturers, jeopardizing profitability, market access, and consumer trust. Regulatory changes, global trade restrictions, and component delays are just a few of the disruptors threatening supply chains today. As supply networks grow more interconnected and regulations become increasingly complex, manufacturers face mounting pressure to adapt.
Proactive compliance with new laws and standards is no longer optional—it’s essential to reduce risks and protect business continuity. Yet, 40% of supply chain professionals report concern about maintaining resilience under emerging regulations (BCI). The key to navigating this volatile landscape lies in building a resilient supply chain, supported by the right technologies to enhance visibility, streamline compliance, and prepare for future challenges.
The fifth annual McKinsey Global Supply Chain Leader Survey provides a revealing look at the state of today’s supply networks. Conducted from April to June 2024, the survey captured insights from 88 senior supply executives across a variety of industries and geographies. The findings paint a concerning picture for manufacturers navigating regulatory challenges:
90% of surveyed companies faced supply chain issues in 2024.
30% of companies admit they are behind or significantly behind in their compliance efforts for new regulations.
Only 9% of organizations report their supply chains are fully compliant with environmental and human rights standards.
These statistics highlight the urgent need for manufacturers to close compliance gaps and adopt technology-driven solutions to build resilience.
Supply chain disruptions carry profound financial consequences, with costs rippling through organizations and compounding over time. In 2023, over 50% of organizations reported rising supply chain costs due to disruptions, with more than a quarter facing significant financial losses tied to Tier 1 supplier issues (BCI).“Over the course of a decade, the average company can expect to lose nearly half of one year’s profits from supply chain disruptions.”
Addressing these challenges requires proactive strategies and advanced solutions to minimize risks and strengthen supply chain resilience.
