Study Reveals Majority of Companies Unprepared for Future Supply Chain Disruptions

in Industry, Supply Chain

A recent survey indicates that the majority of companies are at risk of being impacted by future supply chain crises, highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities in global trade routes. Rising tensions in the Red Sea have led to significant rerouting of shipping paths, with major companies like Denmark’s AP Moller-Maersk and Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd opting to circumvent the Suez Canal, a key maritime passage, in favor of longer routes around Africa. This diversion has affected approximately 90% of container ships that typically transit through the Red Sea since mid-December, according to data from Clarksons, a shipping services provider.

The survey, conducted by Dun & Bradstreet, encompassed 10,000 businesses and revealed that only a third of these firms prioritize diversifying their supply sources and regions to mitigate future risks. Furthermore, just one in four companies is focused on enhancing supplier communication and consolidation to ensure a continuous supply chain.

Additional vulnerabilities in global supply chains were noted, including the Panama Canal, where a severe drought has significantly lowered the water levels of Gatún Lake, essential for the canal’s operation. This environmental issue has led to reduced traffic capacity in a canal that facilitates nearly 5% of the global maritime trade.

The survey also pointed out risks associated with geopolitical and trade policy changes in significant regions such as China and Ukraine. China’s adjustments in foreign trade policies and Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia are poised to continue affecting the global supply chain, particularly impacting sectors like food, technology, and raw materials.

In response to these findings, Neeraj Sahai, president of Dun & Bradstreet International, urged businesses to adopt more resilient supply chain strategies. He emphasized the importance of preparing for disruptions through enhanced planning, risk assessment across all supply tiers, and investing in technology to enable real-time data insights for quicker problem resolution.

The survey results underscore the urgent need for companies to reassess and strengthen their supply chain management practices to avoid potential disruptions and maintain operational continuity in a volatile global market.
