The COVID-19 pandemic exposed deep fragilities in global supply chains, from production collapses in China to record port delays in Los Angeles. In response, over 93 countries adopted trade-restrictive measures, while regional blocs like RCEP and AfCFTA gained momentum. Simultaneously, digital trade surged — e-commerce share jumped from 14% to 17% of global retail, with Amazon posting a 27% revenue spike. This article dissects the hidden economic logic behind these shifts, arguing that the pandemic did not merely disrupt trade but permanently rewired its architecture toward regionalization, digitalization, and a new balance between efficiency and resilience.
Drawing on a decade-and-a-half of data (2009–2024) from the New Industrial Policy Observatory, this article reveals a fundamental shift in state intervention: from occasional market fixes to a persistent, geopolitical-driven regime.
