This study investigates whether supply chain recovery challenges post-COVID-19 found in different research papers are different in significance depending on the industries, and the perception of supply chain managers of different industries of Bangladesh. A two-phased investigation was carried out. Phase 1 involved reviewing the latest relevant literature; and in Phase 2, questionnaires were administered to elicit responses from supply chain managers and executives. The sample of 48 respondents was developed using the judgement sampling and the snowball approach, with a response rate of 48 per cent. In total, 16 supply chain recovery challenges were used to develop the instrument. To examine the obtained data, descriptive statistics and a Kruskal–Wallis test were used; for factors maintained at or below 0.05, a family-wise Bonferroni adjustment (Mann–Whitney U test) was used. Most of the mentioned recovery challenges are found to be significant by the industry experts (supply chain managers and executives). However, there exist disparities in the ranking of perceived importance of one supply chain recovery challenge among different industries. This study could be a basis for future studies and would help businesses to focus on recovery priority areas post- COVID-19 era. Moreover, the study opens an avenue for further research in this field to come up with plans to bolster the recovery from specific disruptive challenges to ensure supply chain resilience.
