In 2025, the global trade landscape has shifted dramatically following the U.S. introduction of sweeping tariffs under President Donald Trump’s administration. These "Liberation Day Tariffs," launched in April, aim to reduce trade deficits and boost domestic manufacturing. Tariffs range from 10% on imports from countries like the UK and Australia to 46% on Vietnamese goods, with a blanket 34% tariff on many Chinese imports and 25% on all steel, aluminum, and auto parts. This policy heavily impacts the consumer goods sector apparel, appliances, packaged foods, and personal care products due to their deep reliance on global supply chains, especially in Asia. U.S.–China trade tensions have intensified, with reciprocal tariffs reaching up to 145% on U.S. goods and 125% on Chinese exports, while China’s trade surplus with the U.S. hit USD 102.6 billion in March 2025. In response, the EU and Canada have implemented retaliatory measures, signaling a broader shift toward protectionism.
The consumer goods industry is feeling immediate effects: production costs are rising, sourcing is delayed, and inflation pressures are mounting. Apparel and footwear now face 25% tariffs, prompting brands to seek nearshoring options or raise prices. Household appliances incur 20% tariffs, complicating inventory and procurement strategies. Packaged foods and beverages are hit with 10–15% tariffs, impacting contracts and leading to supplier diversification and product reformulation. Personal care firms face higher costs for imported ingredients and packaging, leading to local sourcing efforts and delays in new product launches. Meanwhile, electronics, though temporarily exempt, are preparing for possible disruptions by diversifying suppliers and increasing inventories.
China remains the backbone of U.S. consumer goods sourcing, accounting for a large portion of imports either directly or through upstream components. This makes tariffs on Chinese goods especially disruptive. The rising input costs 15–30% in many categories combined with seasonal pressures and tight timelines, are causing delays and increased costs. Smaller brands, in particular, are struggling due to limited capital and reduced supplier leverage. Many are being forced to increase prices, cut product variety, or compromise on quality.
Market research is now critical to navigating this volatile environment. It supports supplier mapping and risk assessment, helping brands identify alternative sourcing countries with stable regulations and quality control. It also aids in cost and margin analysis, guiding decisions on pricing and sourcing changes. Optimization of product design and materials through research allows companies to reduce costs while maintaining consumer expectations. Additionally, research helps assess consumer price sensitivity, enabling strategic repositioning. Tracking regulatory changes and running scenario planning models allow firms to anticipate and adapt to future trade shifts.
To cope, companies are restructuring their global sourcing models. Major brands like Nike and IKEA are expanding operations in Vietnam, India, and Mexico, while embracing “in-market for market” strategies to reduce exposure to tariffs and logistics risks. Many are adopting AI-driven demand forecasting and automated procurement, and pushing suppliers for transparency. Product redesign and SKU rationalization are also common. The most successful firms are those using data-driven insights, operational flexibility, and strategic supplier partnerships to adapt not just survive in this new era of global trade.
The competitive landscape of the rigid plastic packaging market is characterized by the presence of major global and regional players focusing on innovation, sustainability, and expansion. Key companies invest in advanced manufacturing technologies, recyclable materials, and strategic partnerships to gain a competitive edge. Market competition intensifies as brands prioritize eco-friendly solutions and comply with evolving regulatory standards.
In April 2024, Bpacks announced the launch of the world’s first bark-based packaging technology, designed to integrate into existing rigid plastic production equipment. The company converted wood production waste into bark-based pellets or finished packaging, using a process similar to polymers, requiring no additional capital investment. This method reportedly emitted up to six times less CO? than traditional plastic production. https://packagingeurope.com/news/new-technology-from-bpacks-set-to-turn-bark-waste-into-rigid-packaging/11157.article In January 2025, The Rethinking Materials Summit announced a new Global Innovation Challenge in partnership with Kraft Heinz, inviting start-ups worldwide to develop sustainable food packaging solutions. The Challenge sought recyclable or compostable, long-lasting, and user-friendly flexible packaging. Kraft Heinz planned to collaborate with the winner to enhance its packaging portfolio. https://www.packagingstrategies.com/articles/105356-kraft-heinz-launches-packaging-innovation-challenge
