2018 - The Future Value Chain
Succeeding in a Volatile Market: 
| Building on the 2016 Future Value Chain, the 2018 report, published by the Global Commerce Initiative (GCI), Capgemini, HP and SAP AG, brings together insights and analysis of 130 of the industry's leading figures from Europe, North America, China, India, Japan and across Asia and examines the changing trends and dynamics that will impact the industry in the coming decade. The report also identifies how the industry can continue to meet the needs of consumers around the world, despite the current challenging market conditions. |
The study is the result of a series of workshops conducted in June and September of this year in the Netherlands, Hong Kong, India and Japan, that brought together a wide range of retailers, manufacturers, academics and industry organizations, including HP and SAP. These sessions revealed that the declining economy, given added impetus by the recent credit crisis, and the resulting market volatility, along with fluctuating raw material costs and concerns about environmental sustainability, were trends that have accelerated more rapidly than expected. The workshops found that only by working much closer together will manufacturers and retailers be able to meet consumer needs in this volatile market. But the 2018 Future Value Chain program is not simply about identifying future industry trends over the coming decade; it also assesses their practical implications, recommending clear industry actions at a day-to-day operational level; some of which are already underway. Recommendations include prioritizing the importance of consumer insight, acting quickly on issues such as sustainability and preparing for new, hybrid business models that better serve consumer needs.
