“Digital transformation of the global economy continues to be a major driver of change throughout the value chain, challenging traditional investment frameworks. Accurately capturing firms leading in disruptive themes requires a forward-looking investment approach to identify the fast-growing trends of the next decade,” said Rob Oliver, head of business development in Europe at the firm.
According to the firm, trade and supply chain issues exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic has led companies to question their supply chain integrity.
Automation, for example, will be a likely catalyst for reshoring and allowing companies to offset some of their manufacturing costs.
Industrial robot sales grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% from 2013 to 2019, according to the BVI.
“Through thematic investing, investors can gain targeted exposure to certain disruptive themes like the Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), E-Commerce, and 5G, and we expect to see huge investment and advancements in these themes over the next decade,” he added.
