A new report from technology firm RapidRatings on global supply chain risks for 2025 reveals that most executives expect disruptions to worsen before improving.
The survey highlights geopolitical risk, tariffs, and economic unrest as top concerns, pushing cybersecurity down to the fourth spot.
James Gellert, executive chairman of RapidRatings, joins Asking for the Trend with Julie Hyman to dive deeper into the findings.
"There’s no question that supply chain has been on everyone’s minds, and certainly every company with any kind of global footprint — whether they’re buying from or selling to outside of the US," Gellert says.
Gellert also underscores the importance of evaluating suppliers’ financial health: "The financial health of those suppliers is what drives their ability to manage risks." More companies are focused on building out more resilient supply chains to offset the risks of these tariffs, inflation, and elevated interest rates.
