Navigating New Norms: The Emergence of Onshoring in Post-Pandemic Global Supply Networks

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a seismic shift in the operational dynamics of global supply chains, with onshoring emerging as a key strategy. This phenomenon represents a fundamental reorientation away from the traditional reliance on extended, multinational networks towards a model that prioritises proximity and domestic production. The implications of this trend are profound and complex, encompassing economic, strategic and geopolitical dimensions. The far-reaching effects of the pandemic have exposed the fragility of supply chains that are too dependent on international suppliers. The subsequent border closures and logistical upheavals not only disrupted the flow of vital goods, but also highlighted the inherent risks of overstretched supply networks. This realisation has led to a recalibration of supply chain strategies, with onshoring being promoted as a means of improving resilience and control. <a href="https://medium.com/@thomasarnosander/navigating-new-norms-the-emergence-of-onshoring-in-post-pandemic-global-supply-networks-c55e0edc5cab">Visit Now</a>
