A Changing Trade Playbook

The global trade landscape is undergoing a fundamental reset. No longer defined by predictability, today’s environment is shaped by persistent friction across key supply chain dimensions:

• Margin Pressure from Tariffs: Sudden spikes in duties force rapid repricing and profitability reassessments.
• Strained Supplier Relationships: Previously reliable sources may become cost-prohibitive or noncompliant under new rules.
• Complex Sourcing Transitions: Identifying, vetting, and onboarding new suppliers adds operational strain.
• Difficult Cost Decisions: Brands must choose between absorbing added costs or passing them to consumers—both requiring nuanced, data-backed strategies.
