Description

The unprecedented US tariff measures introduced in 2025 have triggered a global trade conflict, resulting in sharp contractions of trade volumes, extensive supply chain disruptions, and a profound reconfiguration of international business practices. With US average tariff rates surging to their highest levels in nearly a century, governments and businesses globally have made quick strategic decisions to utilize the changing ecosystem to its best potential. Major trading partners, such as China, the EU, India, and Asian industrial hubs, have faced retaliatory tariff cycles, compelling firms to diversify production through decentralized, diverse manufacturing models and new regional trade blocs that mitigate costs and risks.

The "Post-Tariff World" explores the megatrends and strategic shifts catalyzed by these systemic shocks. Global supply chains have shifted away from efficiency-driven models toward resiliency-focused designs, with a heightened reliance on technological advancements (such as AI, IoT, and blockchain) to enhance operational productivity. Business models have been reinvented, implying tailored financial services that help manage volatility and price pressures. As trade fragmentation deepens, few countries (as opposed to the US) accelerate investments in clean energy and green tariffs, reshaping the sustainability imperative in a world of heightened protectionism. Social evolutions are characterized by consumer ethnocentrism and intensified workforce upskilling, supporting the trend toward domestic sourcing and regionally aligned markets.

This report outlines visionary scenarios ranging from trade wars and fragmentation to the rise of collaborative innovation ecosystems. Ultimately, adapting to the post-tariff world demands a strategic blend of technology integration, sustainability leadership, and agile navigation of dynamic global networks, positioning businesses to survive and thrive amid new structural transformations.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
