Drivers

  • Supply chains are healthy; mild disruptions were reported. 
  • Companies examined their procurement during tariff and trade wars and positioned themselves well.

Drawbacks

  • In general, cybersecurity is still not a high company priority in general. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) adoption will become increasingly important.
  • Government facility closures caused shipment receipt delays for contractors.
