The rise of the digital economy is putting new pressure on the traditional global supply chain. Businesses are demanding better visibility across delivery and supply channels, quicker shipping capabilities and the ability to source products on-demand to reflect real-time conditions at the consumer level. We view this as a compelling backdrop for new entrants seeking to address gaps in the status quo and see areas of growth across the value chain.
Our Q1 Emerging Tech Research: Supply Chain Tech report covers this and more. Key trends include:
- The pandemic has highlighted the need for data analytics and real-time monitoring services
- Warehousing tech startups continued to attract swathes of capital in Q1 2020 after a record-setting 2019
- Rising consumer demand for home delivery is driving investors and corporates to ramp up investment in last-mile logistics
