Foreword Kristian HongPartner and AmericasStrategic Operations and Kiva AllgoodManaging Director, The past year has confirmed what many leadershad sensed: global supply chains have entereda new era of structural volatility. In 2025 alone,tariff escalations between major economies havereshuffled over $400 billion in trade flows to date(and growing),1while disruptions in the Red Sea andPanama Canal have driven container shipping costsup 40% year on year.2Meanwhile, InternationalMonetary Fund (IMF) data shows manufacturingoutput across advanced economies at its weakestgrowth since 2009.3At the same time, artificialintelligence (AI) and automation are redrawing This white paper builds on a multi-year collaborationbetween the World Economic Forum and Kearneythat has traced this transformation step by step.In 2023, we identified the structural forces rewiringglobal value chains.6In 2024, we examined howleading manufacturers are redesigning their supply “The Global Value Chains Outlook 2026” continuesthis trajectory. Drawing on insights from over100 consultations with industry, governmentand academic leaders, along with survey datafrom more than 300 global executives and caseanalyses, this report offers a dual playbook for These are not isolated shocks – they signal astructural rewiring of globalization. The linear modelof “produce anywhere, deliver everywhere” hasfractured into regional systems balancing efficiencywith resilience. Geopolitics, energy transition andtechnological acceleration now move in tandem, The objective is not to predict the next disruption,but to help leaders design systems that thrive onit. In an age when supply has become the definingconstraint and policy the new design variable, Executive summary Amid rising fragmentation and technologicalchange, business and government must Global supply chains stand at a historic inflectionpoint. After decades defined by scale, costoptimization and globalization, a new era hasemerged – shaped by fragmentation, systemicconstraints and continuous disruption. Theworld has shifted from predictable integration tostructural volatility. The assumptions that oncemade supply chains efficient – institutional stability, government and academic leaders, survey datafrom over 300 global executives and real-worldcase examples.
