Oliver Wyman Forum

Policymakers and businesses increasingly view trade through a geopolitical, multilateral, and supply chain security lens. Our latest research reveals that in the last year alone, geopolitically close countries have seen a 6.2% increase in trade. In contrast, the length of supply chains between Chinese suppliers and US customers has increased by 10% from 2021 to 2023.

Uncharted brings you insights off the beaten path, drawn from three years' worth of consumer research. Stay tuned for more. #OWForum #Uncharted #GlobalTrade #SupplyChainSecurity
