COVID-19 has had a significant influence on supply chains. According to a recent Statista poll, approximately 72 percent of firms are experiencing negative consequences due to the epidemic. Even as the disruptions continue, supply networks worldwide have begun to pick up the pieces and map new terrain to recover.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and the internet of things aren’t likely to be on that list shortly. While these innovations are becoming more common in the global supply chain, they are still far from the norm.
So, here are some top supply chain trends predictions for 2022.
