Complimentary Gartner research for supply chain leaders

Life science supply chains face mounting pressure from new regulations, fast-moving technologies and fractured global markets. Legacy strategies are breaking down. Leaders need a clear path forward. 

In our opinion, this complimentary Gartner report gives life sciences leaders a practical framework to evaluate current performance, define a future state and chart a clear migration path. 

Key findings, according to Gartner:  

• Leading organizations continue to view the supply chain as equally important to business success as all other enterprise functions. The percentage of life science respondents increased from 35% to 42% on this measure between the 2023 Gartner Future of Supply Chain Survey and 2024 Gartner Future of Supply Chain Survey. However, this still lags behind the 48% for industries overall in 2024.  
• Over the next three to five years, life science leaders are focused on drivers including increases in new regulations (85%), human review and control of AI (83%) and closed blocs to trade (74%). 
• The top three life science competitive characteristics are agile supply chain (56%), resilient supply chain (54%) and integrated enterprise strategy (49%).
