What can trends reveal about an industry—and how can businesses harness them?
That’s the focus of The Logistics Trend Map, which offers insights into 30 key logistics trends through an interactive map and a downloadable report, featuring in-depth analysis across eight industries.
In the first video of our new series, we dive into how top trends and challenges are shaping each sector. For the chemicals industry, tariff changes and production closures across Europe have left a significant mark—reflected clearly in its leading trend and most pressing challenge.
Patrick Hore, Global Vertical Head of Chemicals at A.P Moller-Maersk gives his insights in this video.
Top five trends for the chemicals industry:
- Supply Chain Diversification
- Supply Chain Visibility
- Internet of Things
- Financial Resilience in Logistics
- Digital Transformation
From a survey of 570 global logistics decision makers for The Logistics Trend Map, 93% of those in the chemical industry rated supply chain diversification as a critical trend. With over 8,500 recent scientific papers published in the last few years, strong academic interest highlights the trend’s importance – ranking it among the top for both industry and academia. Supply chain diversification can spread risks across suppliers, routes, and regions, meaning businesses can better manage disruptions.
Technological advancements like supply chain visibility, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital transformation are also reshaping chemical logistics, valued for tackling multiple challenges simultaneously.
Top challenges for the chemicals industry:
- Rising fuel and energy costs
- Geopolitical disruptions
- Tariffs and trade restrictions
- Regulations and new laws
