Why are global supply chains currently being restructured?

Global supply chains are like giant toy trains, they’re moving toys (which are things we buy) from one place to another, but now some parts of that train are changing tracks.

Big factories used to be in faraway places like China or Japan because it was cheaper there. It’s like having a friend who lives far away but gives you candy for free, you want to get as much candy as possible!

But lately, things got tricky. Some parts of that toy train broke down, like delays and higher prices. So now, some people are saying: “Why not make the candy closer to home?”

Some countries are building new factories, right next door or even in their own backyards. It’s like opening a new candy store near your house, you don’t have to wait as long for your favorite treats.

So, instead of only relying on one place for all the candy, we’re using more local and nearby stores now, that’s why global supply chains are being restructured!
