Q3 2024 Barometer: Halfway into 2024, Global Sourcing is on a “See-Saw” Trend
So far this year, global procurement volumes have been trending upwards, reflecting increased consumer optimism in parts of the West and efforts to restock inventories after a subdued 2023. Meanwhile, on the supply side, many manufacturing hubs across Asia are experiencing a “see-saw” effect, with some sourcing markets, such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and India, rebounding after a lackluster 2023, while some of last year’s leading markets are showing a slowdown.

After a year of sluggish demand, the first quarter of 2024 witnessed a rise in sourcing volumes across the board, both in overseas supplier regions as well as nearshoring markets. This swell in procurement can be linked to multiple factors, such as fading recession fears and improved consumer sentiment in the West, inventory replenishment following the holiday season, as well as brands relying on larger shipments to mitigate longer freight transit times on routes affected by the Red Sea crisis.

This barometer report, informed by QIMA’s internal data and the findings of our survey of 800+ businesses with international supply chains, offers a retrospective of 2023 in sourcing and expectations for the coming year.

Q3 2023 BAROMETER: ESG Legislation Progress Means No More Business as Usual in Supply Chain Sustainability
As we approach mid-2023, long-awaited progress in European supply chain law is finally mandating ESG compliance and placing a greater emphasis on supplier analysis. Despite Western buyers seeking greater supply chain variety both domestically and internationally, QIMA's sourcing insights show that China remains a constant player in global procurement.
