2025 is the year supply chain transformation gets real.
Over the past several years, we’ve seen a flood of predictions about how AI, digitalization, and resiliency would reshape supply chains. Now, in 2025, we’re seeing which of those trends are delivering — and which ones haven’t lived up to the hype.
Mid-sized and enterprise supply chains alike are moving beyond the buzzwords. The pressure to adapt has only intensified: volatility remains high, customer expectations are rising, and the gap between planning and execution is increasingly a source of competitive risk. But this year, something’s different — organizations are acting with greater urgency, focus, and pragmatism.
This eBook takes a closer look at the top 5 trends that are truly gaining traction across supply chains in 2025 — from real-time decision execution to practical AI deployment — and candidly examines a few high-profile predictions that are falling short.
Our goal is to help supply chain leaders:
- Focus on what’s working, not just what’s trending
- Avoid wasted investment in underperforming initiatives
- Build realistic roadmaps based on evidence — not hype
Because in today’s environment, clarity and execution matter more than ever.
