The global procurement landscape remains in flux, with new developments emerging across regions and industries that are reshaping how organizations source, trade, and manage their supply chains. From Latin America’s growing manufacturing partnerships to Africa’s renewable energy procurement surge, recent events highlight the diverse and dynamic nature of today’s procurement environment.
Latin America’s Manufacturing Procurement Boom
Brazil and Mexico have emerged as key hubs for manufacturing procurement in 2025, driven by a combination of favorable trade policies and increased foreign investment. On August 3, the Latin American Manufacturing Procurement Summit in São Paulo brought together over 250 industry leaders, with representatives from automotive, electronics, and consumer goods sectors. Data presented at the summit showed that foreign direct investment in Mexico’s manufacturing sector for procurement-related activities rose by 18% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year, largely due to nearshoring trends as companies seek to reduce reliance on Asian supply chains. Brazil, meanwhile, saw a 22% increase in international procurement of agricultural machinery and equipment, supported by government incentives for sustainable farming practices. This regional growth is prompting global procurement teams to expand their supplier networks in Latin America, with a focus on establishing long-term partnerships to leverage local production capabilities.
500 million fund was launched to help African suppliers of solar panels and wind turbine components meet international quality standards, increasing their eligibility for large-scale procurement contracts. This shift not only addresses energy access challenges but also creates new opportunities for global procurement teams seeking to align their strategies with renewable energy goals and diversify their supplier bases.
Southeast Asia’s Electronics Procurement Expansion
Southeast Asia continues to strengthen its position as a global electronics procurement hub, with Vietnam and Malaysia leading the way. The 2025 Southeast Asia Electronics Supply Chain Conference in Ho Chi Minh City revealed that electronics procurement from the region by European and North American companies increased by 25% in the second quarter of 2025. Key drivers include the expansion of semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Malaysia and Vietnam’s growing expertise in producing high-tech components for electric vehicles and consumer electronics. To support this growth, the Vietnamese government announced new measures to streamline procurement processes for foreign companies, including faster customs clearance for electronic components and simplified certification requirements. Procurement professionals in the electronics industry are increasingly prioritizing Southeast Asian suppliers for their ability to deliver high-quality products at competitive prices, as well as their proximity to key markets compared to traditional Asian manufacturing centers.
