Navigating uncertainty, embracing AI
Trade uncertainty and geopolitical tensions have become the new realities of doing business today, not a temporary disruption. Drawing on a survey of more than 350 chambers across 113 economies – the widest reach in the series so far – Chamber Pulse 2026 reveals that businesses are adapting rather than retreating, while the race to adopt AI reshapes how they compete.

The 2025 edition of ICC WCF Chamber Pulse offers a chamber-level snapshot of global business sentiment, drawing on responses from over 240 chambers across 110 economies—representing 90% of global GDP. This year’s edition explores how inflation, geopolitical tensions, and trade disruptions are reshaping business strategies, and how businesses are preparing for the AI-driven future.
The 2024 edition of the ICC WCF Chamber Pulse presents the findings of the ICC World Chambers Federation (WCF) 2024 Global Economic Survey. The survey captures the perspectives of senior executives on key economic and climate issues, providing insights from over 200 chambers of commerce worldwide, representing economies that collectively account for 90% of global GDP.
The Global Economic Survey is the world’s largest survey of chambers of commerce, run each year by ICC and our World Chambers Federation. Chambers sit close to the businesses they represent, offering a frontline view of economic realities.
Chamber executives report on current economic conditions, the main constraints businesses face, their outlook, and challenges and opportunities in key areas including trade, AI and climate. Results are published annually as ICC Chamber Pulse.
