Dun & Bradstreet Reports Lowest Business Optimism Since Late 2023

DNB

Demand Weakening

New Projects/Investments

The Global Business Optimism Index dropped 6.5% for Q3 2025, marking the third consecutive quarterly decline and reaching its lowest level since late 2023, driven by persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and supply chain vulnerabilities.
The decline in optimism was also reflected in other indices, with the Global Supply Chain Continuity Index falling 9.7% (down 18.6% year-to-date) and the Global Business Investment Confidence Index falling 13.1%, indicating a third straight decline in investment confidence.
Businesses are contending with margin compression due to slowing demand and persistently high input costs, leading to significant declines in optimism for sectors such as textiles (-17.0%), electricals (-15.0%), metals (-12.7%), and automotives (-9.7%).
In response to the uncertain environment, businesses are pivoting inward to domestic markets, with 34% identifying domestic growth as a top fallback strategy, and are delaying capital expenditures and deleveraging their balance sheets.
