Roland Berger #IndustryOutlook 2025: What lies ahead for the shipping industry? 🚢 2024 is shaping up to be again one of the most profitable years in liner shipping history, driven by strong demand and partly peaking freight rates. However, global #SupplyChain disruptions and higher costs from route diversions pose challenges. 📌 In 2025, moderate global growth in container volumes is expected, but geopolitical conflicts, #Sustainability pressures, and rising #CO2 taxes will reshape the industry. Market consolidation and reorganization along the shipping ecosystem will continue as well. 🔄 To stay resilient, #CEOs must prioritize #CostManagement, operational excellence, and balancing sustainability with profitability to build resilience in a fixed-cost environment. 🔍 What trend do you think will impact the #Shipping industry most significantly in 2025? 💡 Visit our website: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dYKfU66h #RolandBerger

Restructuring in transformation: A conventional approach is no longer sufficient to secure the future of a company in crisis. 📌 While #CostReduction and financial consolidation remain essential components of any #Restructuring, they fall short in a decade defined by #Transformation. Technological disruptions, global trends, and crises demand that companies go further and realign strategically. 🔄 For example, active #Topline management must better align sales with markets and customers. In many cases, transforming the business model is critical for securing the future — requiring a closer look at growth markets, among other factors. 🔍 What are the key steps and measures for a transformation-oriented restructuring of a company? 💡Find out in our new study by Alexander Mueller and Dr. Adrian Pielken: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dVdYu6ur #RolandBerger #Turnaround

Neuer #Restrukturierungsweg mit weniger Risiko: Der Ansatz, 'Shareholding as a Service' (#ShaaS) etabliert sich zunehmend als Alternative, um Unternehmenseinheiten, die nicht länger zum Kerngeschäft passen, umzustrukturieren oder zu verkaufen. 🔁 Entsprechend groß war das Interesse von Expert:innen aus den Bereichen #Bankwesen, #Sanierungsberatung und #Insolvenzverwaltung an diesem Auftaktthema im Rahmen unseres neuen Dialogformats „Roland Berger Restructuring Roundtable“ am Standort #Frankfurt. 📌 Die #RolandBerger Partner Alexander Mueller, Marcus Wolf und Mortaza Nadjafi hatten eingeladen. Im Mittelpunkt des Abends stand eine Paneldiskussion über das Vorgehen, die Vorteile und die Perspektiven des #ShareholdingasaService Modells, bei dem Unternehmen die #Restrukturierung über einen sogenannten Restrukturierungsgesellschafter angehen. Florian Dausend und Derik Evertz von CORNELIUS lieferten spannende Einblicke und Praxisberichte. 🎯 Fazit des Abends in Frankfurt: Die aktuelle Restrukturierungslage begleitet von einem weiterhin herausfordernden #Finanzierungsumfeld, einer insgesamt unsicheren geopolitischen Lage als auch strukturellen Herausforderungen in vielen Branchen erfordert innovative Ansätze, wie 'Shareholding as a-Service' sowie die holistische Zusammenarbeit von Experten über alle relevanten Fachbereiche hinweg. 💡 Schon jetzt vormerken: Die nächsten Roland Berger #RestructuringRoundtables in Frankfurt werden folgen! Denn ein Netzwerk aus Expert:innen und Partner:innen ist unerlässlich, um den Herausforderungen des Marktes erfolgreich zu begegnen. #RolandBergerRestructuringRoundtable
