Tariffs and Trade Wars Executive Briefing (First Edition) – Strategic Intelligence

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Less than 100 days since his return to office, Donald Trump has blown up eight decades of global trade rules with the imposition of a 10% global baseline and "reciprocal" tariff framework, plus sizeable tariffs on strategic sectors (e.g., steel, aluminum, and automotive). As in Trump’s first term, this has led to the inevitable escalatory ratchet between the US and China (plus targeted retaliation from other select trading partners) ahead of much-awaited new dealmaking. Keen US interest in shutting backdoors to Chinese triangulation of imports will further disrupt global supply chains, with surging risks of US stagflation and global recession if Trump overplays his hand.

Scope

This report outlines the impact of tariffs on the global economy and key industries.

It includes analysis of the macroeconomic implications and outlines how this theme could play out over the coming weeks and months.

Detailed insights are provided into the impact of tariffs in 15 sectors: aerospace, defense, and security, agribusiness, automotive, construction, consumer, financial services, medical devices, mining, oil and gas, pharma, power, retail, sport, technology, and travel and tourism.

The report also includes our sector scorecards, which have been updated as appropriate to capture the impact of the emerging trade war.

Key Highlights

The motives and agendas underlying Trump’s key policies are tangled and contradictory. This points to high levels of uncertainty-a feature rather than a bug, which Trump likes to weaponize for tactical advantage. The outlook is further clouded by questions over which countries will follow China in imposing retaliatory tariffs on US goods, and the timelines for potential trade negotiations with the US that could see tariffs reduced. The prospective benefits of tariffs will come only slowly (as will Trump’s promised tax cuts and deregulation).

Concerns over a potential US recession in 2025 are growing as investors reassess the economic impact of its tariff policies. Despite the 90-day pause on most reciprocal tariffs, the near- and longer-term outlook is dogged by tariff uncertainty, complicating investment and management decisions. The greatest risk is that ongoing market volatility triggers reflexivity, sending corporate and consumer confidence plummeting, with indications that this is already happening. A silver lining is the potential strengthening of regional and inter-regional trade ties outside the US.

Reasons to Buy

All sectors are impacted by higher tariffs and the prospect of a global trade war, whether directly (such as by Trump’s baseline global 10% tariff) or indirectly by the impact on the wider economy. Understand the impact on your business with GlobalData's executive briefing, which includes analysis from our industry analysts and macroeconomic experts.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
