Supply chains across industries are facing systemic vulnerabilities driven by geopolitical conflict, shifting trade policy, extreme weather, and surging costs. These pressures are causing cascading challenges that can extend lead times, disrupt operations, and even delay on-time delivery of lifesaving medicine, in the case of life sciences. Despite nuances in how risks manifest across different industries, having visibility deep into the supply chain is foundational, especially since senior leaders cannot manage what they are unable to see.

The 2026 FM Resilience Index ranks 130 countries and territories using 18 factors to assess how macro and physical risks affect business resilience. Denmark remains the most resilient country, while mixed gains and declines reflect pressures from inflation, cybersecurity gaps, and climate risk across regions.
