Spend Category Outlook 2020: Key Trends, Challenges and Opportunities Amid the Pandemic

The pandemic has changed just about everything you thought you knew about managing your key spend categories. You need to get a handle on the new market dynamics — and having robust supply market intelligence is critical if you’re going to control costs while uncovering new growth opportunities.

Where have the most significant impacts been felt? Does the so-called “new normal” apply to all spend categories, or only some of them?

In a new, two-part webinar series, Spend Category Outlook 2020: Key Trends, Challenges and Opportunities Amid the Pandemic, the leaders of GEP’s category advisory groups will present their outlook on the top trends, challenges, and opportunities in 10 key spend categories.

Categories — Part 1:

CapEx • Energy & Utilities • Logistics • MRO/Facilities Management • Packaging

On the Agenda:

• Category-specific impacts of COVID-19 across industries and regions
• Changing scenarios in supply, demand and pricing
• Market opportunities for categories and subcategories now, in 3-6 months, and beyond
