Tariff Impact: Navigating Sourcing Challenges and Strategic Responses
Cumulative US tariff actions through 2025 have elevated device and component costs, reshaping sourcing strategies and extending procurement cycles across the value chain.
Device manufacturers accelerate supplier diversification and explore nearshoring, while software-led features and subscription services help offset hardware margin pressures. Increased regulatory and customs demands require stronger logistic and compliance expertise. Businesses that pivot to modular product architectures and flexible sourcing remain best positioned to maintain margins and drive innovation.
