Leading causes of supply chain issues in Central Europe in 2022
The current situation.
According to the 2022 study conducted by Deloitte, 43 percent of surveyed CFOs in Central Europe said that the increase in prices for commodities had severely affected supply chains. This widespread issue, combined with problems in the delivery of final goods make up the vast majority of all severe supply disruption causes.
What are the solutions?
Since 2022, 56 percent of companies in Central Europe have been increasing collaboration with suppliers as a means of combating supply chain issues. This strategy means that around a third of companies that responded feel that the current situation will improve in 2024 or later. Companies have also implemented strategies such as increasing local procurement and the increased use of digital tools to deal with their respective supply chain issues. Whichever solution companies across Central Europe implement, the supply chain situation may improve, but disruption will continue.
