AYears of relying on long, complex international supply chains to minimise manufacturing costs left many industries vulnerable when a single disruption, such as a factory closure or a shipping delay, could stall production on the other side of the world.
BIn response, a growing number of companies are reconsidering this strategy, moving some manufacturing closer to their main markets, a practice often called reshoring, even though it typically increases production costs compared to manufacturing further away.
CThis shift is rarely complete, since fully replacing an established overseas supply chain is expensive and slow; most companies instead pursue a hybrid approach, keeping some production abroad while building limited local capacity as a backup option.
DIndustry analysts describe this as a trade-off between cost efficiency and resilience, where companies increasingly accept somewhat higher costs in exchange for reduced risk of the kind of severe disruption experienced in recent years.
