Q4 Tariffs QS 2025

Published:

2025 Q4 Tariffs Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines how members are managing recent tariff developments based on a Quickie Survey of 112 PMMI members deployed beginning in Q2 2025 with quarter-over-quarter comparisons through January 2026. The analysis indicates major focus areas around rising procurement costs and pricing strategy, including sharing costs with customers, tariff disclaimers and separate line-item quoting; information and monitoring practices such as general business news, industry resources and consultants; and supply-chain responses such as dual sourcing and selective manufacturing relocation, while charts highlight impacts on sales, lead times and project holds. The report reveals where companies are prioritizing supply-chain and pricing strategies to protect margins.
