Sourcing Diversification: New Countries, New Risks

With the outbreak of COVID-19, it became clear for many companies that there was a need for diversification in their supply chain-sourcing base. Businesses worldwide have become dependent on China, but leaving the country is not an option for all of them. The trend of avoiding trade war-related tariffs that had already started a few months earlier is persisting and brings new options to the table.

A Look at Your Supply Chain in Times of COVID-19

Despite significant efforts to contain the spread and global impact of COVID-19, the situation has worsened, affecting people and companies all around the globe. The full implications of COVID-19 on the supply chain remain difficult to predict.

These changes are occurring at an unprecedented pace, creating an environment that is continuously evolving – as are the associated challenges. Some areas are slowly returning to activity while others are now being adversely affected by the virus. But what was the reality yesterday may no longer be the case today, and the chances are high the situation will have changed again by the time you read this.

It is, however, possible to see that, at this stage, the crisis is having a direct influence on the supply chain, from raw materials to finished products, and that we need to be ready to adapt, and combine agility and expertise.

TOYS: Anticipating Risks at the Early Stages of Development

The toy and children-related industries are responsible for guaranteeing the safety of their product categories to make ‘play safe’ for the little ones of the house. This presents the challenge of meeting stringent regulations while ensuring the timely delivery of finished goods that meet consumer expectations. A deeper focus on safety and compliance is already in place within most industry players, including manufacturers, importers and retailers.
