Introduction If supply chain companies have learned anything from the disruptions that have taken place in 2025, it is that things rarely go as planned. Supply chains are growing increasingly complex by the day, leaving companies struggling to predict the next big shift that will threaten their operations and margins. Everything from geopolitical instability to cyber attacks and maritime shipping disruptions in the Red Sea have forced companies to re-think their operations and find ways to minimize the impacts. However, for many companies, the impact of new tariffs likely overshadows all of these events due to their scope and how frequently they appear to be shifting. As Q4 is underway, most companies are now working on their operational planning for 2026 and developing strategies to help offset many of the changes that the industry has seen this year while bracing for what lies ahead. While no one can predict the next big threat, companies can work to understand the greatest risks facing their supply chains as they prepare for 2026 to help reduce their exposure and create more flexibility to withstand what’s to come. In this white paper, we break down the top threats to supply chains in the coming year, the types of disruptions that companies may face as a result, and how to best position themselves to be as resilient as possible, no matter what issues may strike.
