Executive Summary
Q4 2023
Welcome to the Q4 edition of Jabil's Global Category Intelligence Report. Our latest publication aims to provide valuable insights and decision-making support across the various spending categories and sub-commodities within which Jabil operates.
In today's uncertain economic landscape, both at the macro and micro levels, stability remains elusive. Reliable indicators suggest that this situation may persist for some time. Ongoing cost pressures, lead time uncertainties, and supply chain disruptions continue to present significant headwinds within the Indirect Goods and Services markets.
We operate daily within the category markets covered in this report and are pleased to share with you the meaningful insights gained from our extensive partnership network to help you navigate these challenging times.
Our domain experts provide comprehensive category market analysis, shedding light on the impact of inflationary pressures on global supply chains. We also explore the monetary policy decisions made by central banks worldwide intending to tackle rising prices and manage demand.
Regrettably, we must also continue to address the disruptions caused by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and provide insights into areas that require particular attention for effective mitigation strategies.
Our logistics experts conduct in-depth examinations of global freight markets, covering major regions and transportation modes, as well as identifying market factors that may indicate signs of improvement or deterioration.
We hope you find this report insightful and informative. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the publication further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or Josh Wilson, our Market Intelligence Research Manager, directly.
Yours sincerely,

Heidi Banks
