While no one can predict every twist and turn, one thing is certain: the convergence of shifting regulations, geopolitical uncertainty, and evolving compliance demands is creating a complex landscape of challenges—and opportunities. Companies that anticipate these changes and act decisively will unlock new sourcing options, make smarter investments, and build the agility needed to thrive in tomorrow’s markets.
