Megatrends shaping the future of the supply chain and logistics

Abstract

Based on a systematic literature review and an expert's workshop, 22 megatrends and 66 related trends were identified. These megatrends and trends are critical for the generation of future industrial scenarios. The main contribution of this literature review is that it brings together not only scientific publications, but also sectoral studies, governmental reports. Further insights on the megatrends/trends have been collected and merged within an interactive session. Future research can formulate scenarios of the possible evolution and implications of the identified megatrends/trends on future supply chains.
