Onshoring and Localising Supply Chains: Impact on Venture Capital Investment
The pandemic has highlighted the importance of having a secure and reliable supply chain. In the wake of the pandemic, businesses have been looking to onshore and localise their supply chains to reduce the risk of disruption. This shift has been reflected in the venture capital investment into supply chain focused technology, which has significantly slowed in the past few months.
The trend of onshoring and localising supply chains has been driven by geopolitical tensions, as well as rising costs due to Covid-19 disruptions. However, while this may make sense from a security of supply point of view, it could lead to increased costs due to labour costs, regulation and energy costs.
It is clear that the pandemic has changed the way businesses view their supply chains and the importance of having a secure and reliable supply chain. As businesses continue to onshore and localise their supply chains, venture capital investment into supply chain focused technology is likely to remain slow.
