Cesce presented his report " International Panorama 2025 ", an essential roadmap that celebrates its tenth anniversary by analyzing the profound changes that redefine the world order. The study underscores the end of an era of multilateralism and free trade, giving way to a more complex and fragmented global scenario. For sign and graphic communication professionals, understanding these dynamics is crucial to anticipate trends and adapt strategies in an ever-evolving business environment.
The report highlights a growing rivalry between powers such as the United States and China, which has become the central axis of today's geopolitics, influencing economic, technological and diplomatic fronts. This shift towards a more bipolar world, with a rise in unilateralism and protectionism, means that business decisions may be more influenced by geopolitics than efficiency. For graphic communication companies, this could translate into fluctuations in demand for projects related to international expansion, corporate signage or marketing campaigns, demanding greater agility to respond to changing markets and regulations.
In addition to geopolitical factors, the "International Panorama 2025" addresses the deterioration of global democracy, the rise of populist leaders and social polarization, phenomena exacerbated by social networks and artificial intelligence. These elements make up an environment where clear and effective communication is more valuable than ever. For sign makers and graphic communication experts, this represents an opportunity to innovate in visual messages that connect with diverse audiences and to explore new applications of technologies such as AI in design and production. The ability to offer creative and resilient solutions will be key to navigating a 2025 that promises to be as challenging as it is transformative.
