Geopolitical shocks from the Iran war are reshaping Asian energy procurement strategies, with companies scrambling to secure coal supplies as the Strait of Hormuz closure chokes off oil and gas. This shift threatens to raise logistics costs, create new supply chain bottlenecks, and reorder long-term energy contracts.
The IEA warns that Southeast Asia’s heavy dependence on oil and gas shipped through the Strait of Hormuz could triple energy import costs to $245 billion by 2035, directly threatening logistics and manufacturing. Supply chain managers must brace for sustained fuel price volatility and potential physical disruptions, while accelerating diversification of energy sources and routes.
