36th Annual Survey of Corporate Executives Commentary: Supply Chain Factors Take on Added Significance
The major supply chain disruptions experienced in 2021 are reflected in the survey results.
Q1 2022
It is interesting to note inbound/outbound shipping costs shot up to #4 in the 2021 ranking from #10 in the 2020 ranking. This emphasizes the strain rising costs are having on businesses and, in turn, site locations decisions. Raw materials availability also shot up in the rankings, from #21 in 2020 to #6 in 2021. Much of this can likely be attributed to the major supply chain disruptions experienced in 2021.
State and local Incentives remained in the top 10 again, moving from #9 to #8. As companies make site location decisions, they are still keenly aware of incentive opportunities and searching for state and local municipalities that will act as partners in their business locations decisions.
