Warning Trends
Tariffs to negatively impact building and construction components and supplies sector
- The Trump Administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which impose higher tariffs on all products imported from most foreign nations, are set to take effect on August 7, after the rates were finalized on August 1. As a result, most construction material import sources face higher tariffs, including Mexico (25.0%), Canada (35.0%), Turkiye (15.0%), and China (54.0%).
- According to Realtor.com, about 70.0% of the softwood lumber and drywall gypsum (used for drywall) used in residential construction is imported from Canada and Mexico, respectively. According to the New York Times, drywall prices could rise by 22.0%. Other products like wood utility poles, medium-density fiberboard, particleboard, plywood, wood veneers, and wood pulp will also see higher prices as a result.
- The Yale Budget Lab estimates that construction inputs like cement could see a 3.5% increase in price with higher tariffs on imports. Turkiye, Canada, and Mexico, which account for over 65.0% of US imports, face tariff rates of 10.0%, 25.0%, and 25.0%, respectively.
- Specific steel and aluminum tariffs of 50.0% on all US imports are also negatively affecting buyers of building and construction components and supplies like sheet metal, automatic sliding doors, garage doors, ladders, posts and bollards, and more. In 2024, 23.0% of all steel used in the United States was imported from foreign countries such as Canada and Mexico.
- US manufacturers reliant on imported plastic resins from countries like China will not be impacted by tariffs as key resins, like polyethylene, polypropylene, and PET, will be exempt from the reciprocal tariffs. Other construction components and supplies that are compliant with the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement will be exempt from tariffs.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
There is a moderate level of market share concentration in the market for commercial carpet, largely due to significant barriers to entry in the market due to the high costs of acquiring production plants and equipment.
Average vendor risk is low, however profit margins are low and have been falling in the previous three years.
Supply chain risk in the market is moderate, as risk among second tier suppliers contributes to high price driver volatility. Suppliers of plastic, resin and fiber inputs are subject to high levels of volatility due to their dependence on the price of crude oil, which increases the risk of the majority of the supply chain in the market.
The United States is a net importer of carpet, meaning it imports more than it exports. US buyers may need to assess the quality standards and production capacities of international suppliers, with considerations like the expected lead times for delivery and quality.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Commercial Carpet Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Order Value and Average Response Time. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Quality and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Order Value |
|
Total number of orders placed with supplier. Total monetary value of orders placed with supplier. |
The average order value measures the average monetary value of an order that the supplier fulfills. The average order value can be used to indicate whether or not suppliers have experience handling buyers of similar size, or if their business is better suited to larger or smaller buyers. |
| Average Response Time |
|
Total number of inquiries sent to the supplier. Total time to respond to inquiries. |
The average response time measures the amount of time it takes for a supplier to respond to questions or concerns from the buyer. The average response time can be used to measure a supplier's timeliness in response to questions. Long periods between response to questions such as stain removal, maintenance or repair methods can lead to increased costs to have formal repairs completed. |
