We are witnessing widespread price increases and lead time disruptions throughout the supply chain, driven by dynamic negotiations and geopolitical shifts in today’s global trade environment. While market uncertainty remains high, we expect these impacts to persist over the coming quarters.

SourceBlue is observing notable effects in critical product categories under our management, including mechanical systems, electrical equipment, lighting, finished goods, and specialty items. Projects that rely on international manufacturing or just-in-time delivery are especially vulnerable, with procurement cycles becoming increasingly difficult to predict and more prone to disruption. In this environment, traditional procurement models are no longer sufficient. Project teams must make sourcing and purchasing decisions earlier and embrace diversified supply chain strategies. Resilience is no longer optional—it is essential to maintaining project performance and protecting schedules, budgets, and product quality.
