Supply Chain Disruptions up 67% in 2020 with Factory Fires Taking Top Spot for Second Year in a Row

Resilinc data reveals North America experienced the most disruptive events, followed by Asia and Europe

Milpitas, CA – April 22, 2021 — Factory fires, mergers & acquisitions, business sales, factory disruptions, and human health ranked as the top 5 supply chain disruptions in 2020, according to data released from Resilinc’s 2020 Annual EventWatch Report. In its report, Resilinc – the world’s leading supply chain risk monitoring and mapping solution – also reveals supply chain disruptions were up 67% year-over-year, with 83% of disruptive events being human caused. And, for the third year in a row, the two top events were factory fires and changes in ownership of supplier firms.

While human health disruptions – which include COVID-19 related events – ranked fifth in terms of the number of event alerts (Resilinc sent out 453 alerts regarding human-health related disruptions), the disruption caused by pandemic was more damaging than any other event type. COVID-19, and the government policies enacted in response to it, created deeper global impacts, leading Resilinc to designate the event as “severe” – the first time in the company’s history ranking an event at that level of impact.

In total in 2020, Resilinc sent out 6,192 alerts about potential supply chain disruptions to its customers – which include today’s largest multinational organizations; that’s a 67% increase over 2019. Of these potential disruptions, 3,727, or 60%, were impactful enough to trigger the creation of a WarRoom—virtual platforms in the Resilinc dashboard where customers and their suppliers communicate and collaborate to assess and resolve disruptions. In 2020, WarRoom creation was up 80% year over year due mostly to pandemic-related threats pushing supply chain teams to develop contingency plans, including finding alternate suppliers.

Additional data revealed in the report includes the number of disruptions by region: North America experienced the most disruptions (2,935), followed by Asia (1,323), and Europe (1,210).

Resilinc’s Annual Report data is gathered from the company’s EventWatch AI, a 24/7 global event monitoring service that contextualizes and analyzes more than 1.7 billion news feeds about potential and existing supply chain disruptions from approximately 3.5 million sources in 100 languages, including daily news, government regulatory reports, and social media. As of January 2021, Resilinc incorporated data from more than 100,000 suppliers, consisting of 475,000 sites and more than 3 million parts and materials purchased by Resilinc customers.
