Description

Strategic Intelligence: The Impact of Tariffs on Supply Chains

Summary

Tariff chaos is the nail in the coffin of hyper-globalization. The post-World War II global economy was categorized by 1) the acceleration of global trade, 2) the reduction of trade restrictions, and 3) the use of the US dollar as the default global currency. A global trade war and increased geopolitical tensions will end this era. Global interdependency created during hyper-globalization will not cease to exist. Globalization will continue, but it will look very different.

Key Highlights
  • In the short term, tariffs will impact demand and inventory planning. To avoid initial tariff hikes, companies increased inventories in the US. Carrying larger inventories will become best practice if tariffs continuously increase, resulting in recurring price hikes for goods and services. Maintaining large inventories can be costly if demand declines rapidly. GlobalData expects demand to stay stable until the end of 2025 but may begin to dip in 2026 if the US economy enters a recession.
  • Supply chains shift towards localization. Over the next five years, all major economies will try to reindustrialize and stimulate domestic demand. Trade restrictions and stimulus packages will incentivize, or even force, companies to reconfigure their supply chains. There will be a shift towards localizing supply chains to avoid the financial and operational penalties associated with offshoring production. Reconfiguring supply chains is a lengthy, complex, and expensive process.
Scope
  • This report looks at how the US tariffs and a trade war will impact global supply chains. It examines the short-term and long-term consequences of tariffs on the global economy, from shifts in demand to the reconfiguring of supply chains.
Reasons to Buy
  • Examine how tariffs affect international trade. Understand the short-term and long-term impacts of tariffs on global supply chains. Learn how tariffs will accelerate industrial automation across different sectors. Assess the strategies companies are adopting when reconfiguring supply chains.

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.
