Geopolitical fragmentation is causing a fundamental restructuring of industrial supply chains, marked by a shift away from China towards multiple regional suppliers including Mexico, Canada, Taiwan, and Vietnam, while forcing industrial firms to rethink their manufacturing footprint, supply networks, and AI-enabled integrated decision flows.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ The Wire takeaway
