As COVID-19 highlights vulnerabilities in global supply chains and resilience takes priority, report calculates ongoing cost of shocks and prospects for production to shift
â— Industries experience month-long disruptions every 3.7 years on average
â— Companies can expect supply chain disruptions to erase 40 percent of a year's profits over the course of a decade on average-and extreme events take an even bigger toll
â— Up to a quarter of global trade flows could move to different countries over the next five years if companies restructure their supplier networks and governments take action. But moving supply chains is not the only way to build resilience.
