Global Value Chain Development Report 2025: Re-globalization – Opportunities for More Inclusive and Greener GVCs offers a timely and evidence-based look at how global trade and production are being reorganized in response to geopolitical shocks, technological transformation, climate imperatives, and the resurgence of industrial policy. With contributions from leading international and national organizations such as the WTO, ADB, IDE-Jetro, Swedish Board of Trade, and RIUIBE, as well as academic and institutional researchers, the report maps recent shifts in global value chains and explores how countries, including in Africa and Latin America, firms, and workers, can find new opportunities for inclusive growth. From electric vehicle supply chains and green transition strategies to emerging policy instruments and digital trade finance, the 2025 report provides actionable insights into the evolving architecture of globalization – making it essential reading for policymakers and diplomats seeking to navigate the next phase of international economic cooperation.
Earlier editions of the report, from 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023 can be found here.
