Supply Chain Disruption- Impact on Retail Industry

Sayed Habib, Director of Business Development at Danube Group, a visionary driving retail innovation. He expanded Danube Home across 18 African countries, making it a major player in online furniture. At the Container Shipping Conference 2022, he discussed supply chain disruption’s impact on retail. In this blog, we’ll delve into his strategies and insights in this ever-evolving industry.

Sayed Habib, shared his insights on how the world of shopping got a bit tricky due to supply chain disruptions. He acknowledged that when a series of events caused delays in getting products to stores, it created challenges. China’s role as a major producer amplified these issues, particularly when COVID-19 led to factory closures. However, Mr. Habib highlighted how stores responded by seeking alternative sources for products, optimizing their supply chains, and encouraging early shopping. Their smart and adaptable strategies aimed to ensure customers could still find what they needed, even when shopping faced hurdles in the past.
