Abstract：
Global supply chains have been undergoing gradual restructuring, evolving from a highly integrated globalized structure to a regionalized configuration. This structural shift is good news for global citizens, as the potential impact of disruptions will be more localized. While there has been growing anecdotal evidence of this trend, rigorous and comprehensive empirical validation remains limited. In this study, we investigate the structural evolution of global supply chain networks (GSCNs) as a complex adaptive system: each firm independently makes self-driven decisions regarding trade, taking into account tariff issues, policy changes, and geopolitical factors, and these decisions aggregate and manifest in macro-level evolutionary patterns. To capture such patterns, we use large-scale, fine-grained maritime Automatic Identification System data for 2015–2024. This satellite-based real-time positioning data tracks the global movements of ships, whose activities account for over 80% of the world’s trade by volume. In our construction and analysis of container trade flow networks, ports serve as nodes and shipments as edges. Data provides clear empirical evidence for regionalization, showing patterns of clustering. In addition, ports have assumed differentiated functional roles: some serve as hubs facilitating inter-cluster connections, while others handle transshipment primarily within their own clusters. Overall, flows within clusters have intensified relative to flows between clusters. GSCNs have been evolving towards a structure that promotes local redundancy and global flexibility and is more resilient to potential disruptions.
