Mid-sized firms in the US, with annual revenues between $1 billion to $5 billion, are facing challenges due to tariff pressures and supply chain volatility.
Over 90% of these mid-sized firms expect material shortages or shipping delays as a result of tariff impacts, leading to operational strategies overhaul across various aspects such as sourcing, production, design, and logistics.
To mitigate the effects of tariffs, companies are implementing dual-sourcing strategies, accelerating digital transformation, rethinking product design, and investing in advanced technologies like artificial intelligence-driven demand forecasting.
The current reset in operational strategies driven by tariff uncertainties is making mid-sized firms more adaptive, leaner, and better prepared for future trade disruptions and risks.
