Tariff Impact: Navigating 2025 Policy Shifts
The 2025 introduction of US tariff measures on key raw materials has prompted producers and end users to reassess supply chain dependencies. These policy changes have led to sourcing diversification, benefiting certain Latin American suppliers, while some Asian manufacturers are focusing more on localizing production to offset cost pressures. The resulting contract adjustments and hedging practices are stabilizing input costs. Companies are also contemplating manufacturing capacity shifts to better align with main consumption centers and reduce exposure to future cross-border trade risks.
