Скачать или смотреть Digital Twins + AI: Navigating Trump's Tariff Wars in Supply Chains | $150B Market by 2032

While the markets are trying to digest and predict changes in US tariff policy, there is an underlying dimension quickly rising to the surface that has to do with Supply Chains, AI and something called Digital Twins…

“Between noon Friday, just before the White House said tariffs would be imposed the next day, and 10:40 a.m. Monday, when Trump announced a 30-day pause on tariffs on Mexico, the S&P 500 stock index fell 2%."

“The Russell 2000 index of smaller, mostly domestically focused companies, fell 2.1%. (A pause on Canada came later that day; the China tariffs haven’t gone into effect).”

“By the end of Tuesday, with the tariffs on Mexico and Canada paused, much of those moves had reversed.” - "The Early Verdict on Tariffs: Bad Economics, Better Politics" via The Wall Street Journal 02.07.25.

Digital Twins are a fascinating dimension of the data and tech stack of the world’s largest and most innovative Enterprises to enable them “ensure their supply chains are flexible, agile, and responsive enough to overcome unexpected disruptions,” said McKinsey & Company in their excellent article “Digital twins: The Key to unlocking end-to-end supply chain growth” 11.20.24.

What is a Digital Twin?
“Digital twins are virtual replicas of an object, system, or process used to simulate potential situations and outcomes.”

“Digital twins use real data (sometimes in masked or synthetic forms) to deliver analytical insights and visualizations.”

“Many organizations use digital twins to optimize operations, plan scenarios, and aid decision making.”

“Market analysis indicates the global market for digital twins will grow about 30 to 40 percent annually in the next few years, reaching $125 billion to $150 billion by 2032.”

Why are AI enabled Digital Twins increasingly important in tariff what-if / scenario planning?
“In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, organizations across the supply chain can use digital twins to predict potential disruptions and what-if scenarios that could affect their businesses.”

“No one can predict the next pandemic, war, or economic shock with certainty, but digital twins can help companies react and adapt to these eventualities.”

“Beyond informing one-time strategy decisions, digital twins can function as ‘one model to rule them all,’ optimizing daily decisioning across different operations.”

“In other words, rather than a system of disjointed predictive models, a digital twin can combine many models for integrated forecasting and decision making—dynamically comparing competing trade-offs across the supply chain to suggest granular operational changes.”
