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.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis

The high level of competition is beneficial to buyers because suppliers are more likely to offer flexible pricing to obtain contracts and avoid being undercut by competitors.

Suppliers in this market rely primarily on gypsum product manufacturers for their purchases of both drywall and gypsum-based plaster. The gypsum product manufacturing industry is highly affected by fluctuations in the residential and nonresidential construction industries because gypsum is the primary input in interior finishing materials such as drywall and plaster.

Demand from the commercial and residential construction sectors affect the price of plastering and drywall services. Thus, home builders and commercial builders present a moderate risk to market vendors.

As the United States is a net importer of plastering materials, buyers can effectively leverage the option of sourcing from an international supplier in service price negotiations.
