The rules of global trade have changed once again. Following the April 2025 announcement of sweeping tariffs— including a baseline 10% on all trading partners and reciprocal measures targeting China—manufacturers are under urgent pressure to stabilize costs, reduce lead times, and maintain profitability.

More importantly, we explore how manufacturers can leverage their own data and new AI-driven tools to stay ahead.
