A white paper from Reuters Events, Supply Chain featuring insights from Panasonic and Assa Abloy
Tensions, trade and turmoil mean there’s no let-up for supply chains in 2026
If you were hoping for a let-up in the volatility that has been a key feature of supply chains over the last decade, then 2026 will have been a major let-down. Whether it is the continuing instability in geopolitics, trade dynamics, inflationary conditions, shipping routes, demand, or product and material availability, the blows keep on coming.
However, the logistics sector has understood the harsh lessons provided by prior periods of disruption, aware that the tectonic plates supply chains sit upon are shifting, creating wave after wave of tremors. Almost none have stood idly, instead investing into more diverse and more robust networks, supported by more integrated datasets and more flexible technology platforms, allowing them to better weather the exceptional conditions of 2026.
