Shifting Supplier Dynamics in Southeast Asia

I’ve been analyzing the latest trends from our suppliers in Southeast Asia, and it’s clear that rising costs and labor shortages are becoming significant challenges. During my last negotiation round, I noticed a marked shift in their pricing strategies, which could impact our sourcing plans for the next quarter. Has anyone else observed similar changes in their supply chains?
