ASIA'S SUPPLIERS GROWING AT THE FASTEST PACE SINCE EARLY 2023, AS GLOBAL MANUFACTURING GATHERS FURTHER MOMENTUM IN JUNE: GEP GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN VOLATILITY INDEX

In contrast to Asia, which has seen steady month-over-month growth since April, North America's suppliers oscillate between under- and overutilized capacity. In June, factory input demand fell slightly, with suppliers experiencing reduced demand. However, on average since the start of 2024, North American vendors have generally been operating at full capacity.
The European market is still operating with some slack as factory purchasing activity across the continent remains subdued. This suggests the region's manufacturing recovery still has a way to go, though conditions have vastly improved compared with the end of last year.
An early warning sign of potential overheating ahead is global transportation costs, which rose to their highest level since October 2022 in June as strengthening activity across global supply chains led to higher shipping and container rates. For now, reports of safety stockpiling remain low, suggesting the market is well placed in a "goldilocks" zone and stress levels are subdued.
"Asian manufacturers are gaining momentum, which, if sustained into the second half of the year, will mean a return of increasing costs and price pressures for global companies," explained Amol Jawale, vice president, consulting, GEP. "Now is the perfect time for a company's procurement to lock in pricing with key suppliers for 2025."
Interpreting the data:
Index > 0, supply chain capacity is being stretched. The further above 0, the more stretched supply chains are.
Index < 0, supply chain capacity is being underutilized. The further below 0, the more
underutilized supply chains are.
