Supply chain optimization Middle East
The Middle East has developed into a state-of-the-art logistics region over the past decade. It is centrally located with approximately 30% of global trade passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Align your supply chain to maximize efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction.
Free zones and logistics centers have been established to assure an efficient logistics flow. The region is strategically located with a modern infrastructure and world-class logistics facilities. Modern ports, airports, roads and public networks are the basis for an efficient logistics network.
From a risk management point of view, it is important to build resilient supply chains to withstand disruptions (for instance because of a pandemic or geopolitical conflict) and ensure uninterrupted operations. Diversifying sourcing locations and transportation routes is another key strategy for building resilience.
The growing number of free trade agreements in the Middle East is creating new opportunities for businesses.
However, navigating the changing regulatory environment can be complex. Effective supply chain management practices require staying up-to-date on trade regulations and customs procedures. Next to that, consumers in the Middle East are increasingly adopting e-commerce channels.
Businesses need to invest in omnichannel fulfillment strategies to ensure a seamless customer experience across all channels. This could lead to creating a regional hub to deliver surrounding markets (or even supply partners outside of the region). An alternative is to establish a regional HUB if products need to be delivered to your customers with short lead times. Gateway MedTech can support in optimizing your Middle East supply chain.
