Today we released a new report: The 2014 State of Trade. The State of Trade is our yearly survey of global trade professionals, our users. We ask our users questions about the economy, their outlook, and their concerns for the upcoming year. This year we noted the following common sentiments among our survey set:

• People are optimistic about the overall economic outlook in 2014.
• They’re still sourcing in China, but they’ve got their eye on new locations.
• Buyers have concerns – particularly wage inflation in supplier countries.
