The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the retail and wholesale sector, particularly in sourcing, inventory management, and pricing strategies. Higher duties on imported consumer goods including electronics, apparel, furniture, and packaged foods have raised procurement costs for retailers and wholesalers, compelling many to either increase prices for end consumers or absorb losses. Small and mid-sized businesses with limited pricing power are especially vulnerable, often facing squeezed margins and reduced competitiveness. Inventory cycles are also disrupted as firms grapple with delays and uncertainty in international supply chains. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in foreign markets have curtailed export opportunities for U.S. brands, limiting revenue growth. In response, companies are shifting toward domestic and regional suppliers, investing in supply chain resilience, and adopting data-driven demand forecasting to navigate cost volatility and maintain customer satisfaction.
