Manufacturing in Motion: Navigating Uncertainty, Digital Transformation, and the Future of Sales
From shifting trade policies and supply chain disruption to the rise of AI and IoT technology, manufacturers face a push and pull between refining operations now and preparing for future innovation and growth.
Our annual survey of over 200 global manufacturers reveals how companies are responding: what’s working, what’s stalling, and where the next competitive advantage lies.
The findings reveal an industry bullish on digital transformation, with 67% making it a top priority.

Where are leading manufacturers seeing impact today, and what opportunities are still untapped across the value chain?
In this report, you’ll discover:
- Where industry leaders are investing resources to combat uncertainty.
- The performance levers that will provide a strategic advantage.
- What AI adoption looks like for businesses now and in the future.
- How companies are leveraging CPQ technology to improve go-to-market agility.
- Practical recommendations for staying competitive in the market.
