Join us for a Chamber Joint webinar on the topic of "Sourcing Survey Report 2025 - Digitalization and Smart Supply Chain " main-organized by SwedCham China and co-hosted by FinnCham China , NBA and SwissCham China.



Since 2013, ARC Group has been conducting annual sourcing surveys to assess the evolving perception of Asia as a sourcing market and to track changes over time.

This year's sourcing survey focuses on digitalization and smart supply chain, exploring how companies are reconfiguring their supply chains to prioritize resilience, regional diversification, and proactive risk management. It examines the decisive shift toward "China Plus Multiple" strategies, the acceleration of digital adoption, and the growing importance of ESG compliance .The survey also highlights how Southeast Asia, South Asia, and North America are emerging as key complementary hubs, while providing a forward-looking perspective on how leading firms are building sourcing models that emphasize flexibility, visibility, and regional balance over pure cost efficiency.

During the seminar, we will discuss:

· How are companies shifting from cost-focused sourcing toward strategies that prioritize resilience, risk management, and long-term competitiveness?

· Which regions are gaining or losing sourcing share, and how are "China Plus Multiple" strategies redefining global supply network design?

· What operational and structural risks, including tariffs, capacity constraints, and geopolitical instability, are shaping sourcing decisions in 2025?

· How are companies balancing relocation, reactivation, and multi-region diversification to strengthen supply chain flexibility and responsiveness?

· In what ways are ESG and digitalization being integrated into sourcing strategies, and how do maturity levels vary across regions?

· Which cost factors and regional barriers most influence the success of sourcing relocation strategies?

· How are sourcing teams enhancing capabilities, governance, and decision-making to operate effectively in a more fragmented and compliance-driven environment?
