Global Window Blinds & Shades Procurement Trends
Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Window Blinds & Shades market.
Warning Trends
Tariffs to negatively impact the furniture and furnishings sector
- The Trump Administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which apply general tariff rate increases to most leading US trade partners, took effect on August 7, after the administration finalized the rates on August 1. These changes will significantly increase the tariff rate on leading furniture import sources, including Canada (35.0%), China (54.0%), Mexico (25.0%), and Vietnam (20.0%).
- Additionally, the United States nearly tripled the tariff rate on Canadian lumber from 7.66% to 20.56% in late July. While lumber is typically exempt from the general tariffs on Canada and Mexico because it is wholly produced in Canada or Mexico, making it eligible for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) tariff exemption, this lumber-specific tariff will significantly increase the cost for American furniture producers to source lumber.
- Common metals in furniture production, including aluminum, copper, and steel, face 50.0% tariffs at the start of August, further increasing the input costs of domestic furniture production. In October, the Trump Administration raised tariffs on softwood timber and lumber to 10.0%, upholstered wood furniture to 25.0%, and kitchen cabinets, vanities, and associated parts to 25.0%; and the tariff on upholstered furniture will be raised to 30.0%, and the rate for kitchen cabinets, vanities, and associated parts will be raised to 50.0% at the start of the new year.
- According to a FurnitureToday survey of 420 retailers, tariffs are expected to have a significant impact on 70.0% of furniture and furnishings businesses, and few believe they will avoid the impact of tariffs. Around 27.0% of furniture and furnishings retailers are expected to raise prices immediately in the face of new tariffs.
- Higher tariffs on US imports of furniture and furnishings are also likely to contribute to supply chain issues, reduced inventory selection, and longer lead times. The increase in the average tariff rate will also increase costs for raw materials used to manufacture furniture and furnishings, pressuring prices upward.
