Based on the perspectives of over 200 procurement and business leaders across Europe, the Inverto Raw Materials Study 2025 offers a strategic snapshot of how organizations are navigating an increasingly complex and dynamic sourcing landscape.

The findings reveal a clear shift: from reactive responses to structural resilience — through regionalization, smarter pricing models, and digital enablement.
