Global Computer Keyboards Procurement Trends
Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Computer Keyboards market.
Warning Trends
Tariffs to escalate prices for electronics and computing equipment
- The Trump administration’s reciprocating tariffs, which will increase the tariff on all products imported from nearly all US trade partners, are set to take effect on August 7 and are likely to drive price increases across a wide range of sectors.
- The United States is highly reliant on imported electronics, communication equipment, and computing devices, having imported more than $472 billion worth of electronics in 2024, or about half of the total domestic supply. Starting August 7, imports from key computer and electronics producers such as China (54,0%), Japan (15.0%), South Korea (15.0%), Thailand (19.0%), Vietnam (20.0%), and Taiwan (20.0%) will be subject to new tariff rates. Trade deals for many countries are still being negotiated, and these rates are subject to change.
- For this reason, the US electronics industry is highly exposed to price increases and supply chain disruptions when the tariffs take effect. For example, the cost of iPhones, which are predominantly manufactured in China, could rise by as much as 43.0% in response to tariffs, according to projections by Rosenblatt Securities.
- Overall, the Yale Budget Lab anticipates tariffs will increase the average cost of computers and electronics by 18.7% in the short term.
- The tariffs exempt semiconductors, limiting the cost increases for domestic electronics manufacturers, but the lack of domestic electronics assembly capacity means that this exemption will have a limited effect.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
Vendor risk is relatively low due to the size and broad product and service offerings of suppliers. As a result, buyers benefit from a more predictable purchasing environment.
Market share concentration is low in the computer keyboard market. This makes it difficult for suppliers to maintain significant market share because buyers have the option of sourcing similar products from a variety of suppliers.
Suppliers of computer keyboards face a moderate level of supply chain risk. The greatest risk stems from semiconductors, which have faced a shortage during the past two years.
The United States is a net importer of computer keyboards, as it imports more keyboards than it exports. This adds risk for buyers as currency exchange rates and trade fluctuations can affect the supply of keyboards entering the market.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Computer Keyboards Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Resolution Time and Customer Retention Rate. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Delivery and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Resolution Time |
|
Average time to resolve a minor issue Average time to resolve a major issue |
The supplier’s ability to resolve technical problems quickly and effectively is key. Vendors should be able to resolve minor issues within 4 hours and major issues within two business days. |
| Customer Retention Rate |
|
Number of customers at the start of the period Number of customers at the end of the period Rate of early contract cancellations |
The customer retention rate represents the number of customers a company is able to retain for a set time frame. Buyers of long-term contracts should look unfavorably on vendors with low customer retention rates, as buyers may be left unsatisfied with the quality of computer keyboards and services provided over time. |
