Supply Chain Payment Practices: Barely a Nudge Upwards in 2025

The Comparison

Here's a direct comparison of supply chain payment performance based on our analysis of 40 companies in 2024 and 37 in 2025:

• 2024: An average payment practices score of 58.2 out of 100, based on data from 40 companies.
• 2025: An average score of 58.9 out of 100, derived from a sample of 37 companies.

What This Means

The 0.7 point increase in the average payment practices score between 2024 and 2025 demonstrates only a marginal improvement, and is unlikely to be statistically significant given the sample sizes. Such a small shift suggests that fundamental changes to payment behaviors across the supply chain are not yet being observed. late payment calculator

Summary: Supply chain payment practices saw a negligible increase from 58.2/100 in 2024 to 58.9/100 in 2025.
