Warning Trends


Tariffs to negatively impact the building and construction machinery sector

  • The Trump Administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which apply general tariff rate increases to most countries the United States trades with, are set to take effect on August 7, after the administration finalized the national rates on August 1. As a result, leading sources of imported construction machinery face significantly higher tariff rates, including Japan (15.0%), Mexico (25.0%), South Korea (15.0%), the European Union (15.0%), the United Kingdom (10.0%), China (54.0%), and Canada (35.0%).
  • The increase in tariffs on building and construction machinery imported from tariff-impacted countries will add to the price of imports, which are typically passed on to buyers in the form of higher prices. According to The Budget Lab at Yale, the additional tariffs on imports will increase overall prices for machinery and equipment by 13.3%.
  • Additionally, the administration has already implemented 50.0% tariffs on all aluminum and steel imported into the United States, with the sole exception of imports from the United Kingdom. These tariffs will increase input costs even for construction machinery suppliers with domestic manufacturing operations.
  • According to an April 2025 survey from Construction Equipment Magazine, around half of the respondents reported that the higher tariffs will increase operating costs by up to 15.0%, and more than half said they plan to pass those increases along to buyers.
  • As many building and construction machinery brands source parts and components such as steel, engines, and electronics from foreign countries, higher tariff rates will put upward pressure on prices and lead to greater rental rates as manufacturers and dealers pass on costs. In addition, suppliers that source parts from tariff-affected regions may see supply chain disruptions as they seek alternative suppliers to mitigate tariff impacts.

Cost Analysis - Total Cost of Ownership for Masonry & Stonework Services

Total cost of ownership is Medium in the Masonry & Stonework Services market. The average cost of ownership differs depending on the contract but generally includes costs negotiated before the contract begins, costs billed during the contract period and unforeseen costs. For example, unforeseen costs in the form of Emergencies may raise the total cost of ownership unexpectedly.

Negotiated Before

Set Up Fees

With respect to the construction process itself, buyers may need to cover the cost of the machinery and equipment required to finish the job, especially if the supplier is an independent masonry contractor and not a large building firm.

Billed During

Maintenance

While masonry and stonework require minimal repair and maintenance compared with other building materials, the long-term nature of the completed structure means buyers will eventually need to address normal wear-and-tear issues associated with all buildings.

Additional Fees

Other costs associated with masonry and stonework services include property taxes, zoning fees, environmental fees, heating and cooling services, and other expenses buildings typically incur. Over the long term, these costs end up being significant; to minimize these and other ownership expenses, buyers should carefully consider where they locate their businesses because tax rates and environmental concerns are specific to states and regions of the country.

Warranties

Buyers can minimize total ownership costs by choosing suppliers that offer repair, maintenance, or warranty services. Buyers that have repair and maintenance work performed by the original supplier as part of their supply agreement will save more money than those that procure the same services through a third-party supplier.

Unforeseen

Emergencies

Unexpected expenses can arise in the event of a natural disaster, such as a tornado or flooding.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis

One of the most significant factors bolstering buyer power is low market share concentration. Low market share concentration allows buyers to choose from a variety of suppliers when sourcing masonry and stonework services, thus spurring price-based competition.

The average financial risk in this market is moderate. Factors that increase potential financial risk include strong competition, which puts pressure on vendors to keep rates low or risk losing business to a competitor.

Masonry and stonework service providers rely on a variety of upstream manufacturers, wholesalers, and mining companies to successfully conduct their business. A concrete shortage in the United States has elevated the supply chain risk level in this market to a high during the past three-year period.

The United States is a net importer of cement, indicating the presence of foreign vendors within the domestic market, increasing price-based competition. However, the reliance on foreign-sourced cement increases supply chain risk and the chance of supply disruptions.
