Sourcing has never been more in flux. Geopolitical upheavals are pushing companies to rewrite existing sourcing maps and shipping routes, impending regulations and trade wars (real or threatened) are keeping executives up at night, and lobbyists are trying to carve out exemptions for their clients.
Mexico may have usurped China as the U.S.’s biggest trading partner, but the Asian superpower’s influence—a powerhouse with $1.53 billion in exports—could still have the potential to fray ties between North American neighbors. Meanwhile, everyone else is vying for a larger piece of the sourcing pie.
There are upsides to the tumult. Opportunities are growing for new sourcing markets in and around the Global South, and tech service providers have hit the scene to help companies monitor, track and trace their garments from raw material to completed garment.
