The GEP Global Supply Chain Volatility Index declined to -0.39 in August from -0.35 in July, indicating increasing spare capacity in global supply chains. The report reveals significant regional variations:
North America showed strong activity with near-full capacity utilization, driven by companies stockpiling materials to hedge against tariff-related risks. Meanwhile, Asia's index hit a three-month low, with notable weaknesses in Japan and Taiwan, while Europe continued to decline, particularly in Germany's basic materials sector and UK manufacturing.
