Tariff Impact: Navigating Supply Chain and Competitiveness
Recent U.S. tariff changes instituted in 2025 have caused manufacturers to re-evaluate sourcing and pricing strategies. Multinationals are adjusting supply chains, seeking local suppliers, and introducing service enhancements—such as maintenance and calibration packages—to maintain competitive advantage amid cost pressures. Domestic equipment producers aim to capitalize on their non-tariffed status, expanding market share and leveraging proximity to end users. Effective supply chain agility and dynamic pricing remain essential for mitigating margin compression and serving diversified segments.
