Tariff Impact: Navigating U.S. Policy Changes in 2025
United States tariff escalations in early 2025 prompted shifts in raw material procurement and supply chain management for lidding film manufacturers. As a result, companies adapted by pursuing local resin sourcing, entering new regional partnerships, and optimizing inventory strategies. These responses have altered pricing dynamics and influenced competitive positioning, with premium film upgrades bearing the most significant impact due to their specialty resin requirements. Trade diversions toward non-tariffed regions highlight the need for agile and proactive risk management among global packaging stakeholders.
