According to a Febraury 2022 survey, 89 percent of senior fashion executives agreed that the rising cost of raw materials would impact the supply chain in 2022. It was also the most commonly selected response for beyond 2022, with 85 percent of experts in agreement. Fewer than half of fashion executives thought that geopolitical conflict would impact the supply chain in 2022, but it was the option which saw the greatest increase in responses beyond 2022. Delays and disruptions in ports, transport capacity, and temporary shutdowns due to COVID-19 were among other significant factors expected to impact the fashion supply chain in 2022.
