Manufacturing Industry Contributes the Highest to the Global Cognitive Supply Chain Industry

Globally, the demand for cognitive supply chain solutions is growing in the manufacturing industry due to their ability to optimize operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall supply chain performance. The manufacturing sector collectively contributes significantly to the global economy. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), trade in manufactured goods represented 71.0% of world merchandise exports in 2020, equal to $12.1 trillion out of a total of $17 trillion. It also represents 17.0% of the global gross domestic product (GDP). The sector has suffered significant losses due to rising geopolitical tensions and Covid-19 disrupting the global supply chain. Advanced technological solutions such as AI/ML enable real-time data analysis for informed decision-making, improved demand forecasting, inventory management, and production planning, allowing manufacturers to respond swiftly to market changes. Additionally, cognitive supply chain technologies support predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime and extending equipment lifespan. The integration of intelligent systems increases collaboration and communication among stakeholders, considering the growing complexity and interconnectivity of the manufacturing landscape.
