What evidence shows that trending technologies such as AI‑driven discovery and influencer marketing, are reshaping consumer behaviour and market demand across sector areas of interest?

Background

Supply Chains are key in understanding how risk manifests itself in products. OPSS is interested in the actors within supply chains, but also the supply chains of different products so we can understand where risk enters the supply chains and how we can best intervene to prevent it. This topic broadly seeks evidence that covers;

- Evidence needs relating to online marketplaces or how products are imported into the UK

- Understanding risks at different parts of supply chains, and where OPSS can most effectively intervene

- Information on features of supply chains that are connected to the availability of unsafe products in our markets
