A recent survey by DP World reveals that 84% of Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs) now prioritize resilience and optionality over cost reduction in their supply chain strategies. The shift is driven by increasing uncertainty in global trade, prompting 71% of CSCOs to diversify their supplier base within the next year. Additionally, 86% of respondents view access to alternative and multimodal trade routes as a competitive advantage. This change reflects a broader transformation in how companies design their supply chains, moving from a focus on cost efficiency to creating viable alternatives that can be activated as market conditions fluctuate. The role of CSCOs is evolving, with 93% reporting a more central role in driving business growth, influencing decisions on investment and market entry. The findings are based on an August survey of 103 CSCOs across 14 markets and nine industries.
