Raw material procurement under pressure

Volatile prices, constrained availability, and ongoing disruptions continue to impact sourcing decisions, cost structures, and supply security. Geopolitical developments, particularly in key energy-producing regions, are further affecting logistics, availability, and price stability. Market dynamics influenced by OPEC decisions and ongoing tensions around critical trade routes such as the Strait of Hormuz continue to contribute to energy price volatility and supply uncertainty.

How are organizations adjusting their strategies? Where are they changing supplier setups, risk approaches, or pricing mechanisms? And to what extent are digital tools and GenAI already supporting decision-making?

This survey aims to build a structured view of how procurement leaders are navigating today’s environment, and to identify emerging practices.
