With a particular focus on US companies, where World Emblem is headquartered, Carr expects this shift to improve production agility and strengthen supply chain resilience for US companies. He also delves into AI-driven customisation, which he predicts will be the next big wave for manufacturers and will change the textile sector in 2025. During this year Carr predicts over 70% of emblem orders will be customised using some form of AI, with AI streamlining both design and production to meet those demands. Additionally, he says sustainability will become a core expectation from both customers and regulators as more mandates around eco-friendly materials and waste reduction come into play.
