Abstract

We examine changes in the manufacturing sector value chains of the EU, US, China, and India between 2018 and 2023 by introducing three metrics for supply-chain vulnerability. For our first metric, the physical length of a supply chain based on the distance between the producer of the final product and input source country, we find modest evidence of near-shoring for the US, EU, and India. Second, utilizing political distances between the supply chain participants, our assessment of the geopolitical risks of supply chains reveals slight friend-shoring by the US and EU, mainly a result of Russia's reduced participation in their supply chains. Third, looking at the already extensive supply chain diversification of the studied countries, we find diversification has increased modestly since 2018.
