Since Donald Trump's initial presidency term, e-commerce has notably increased, with its market share climbing to 16.2%. Yet, with a newly imposed 10% tariff on goods imported from China, the potential consequences for U.S. consumers and the e-commerce landscape loom large. Experts express concern that many businesses reliant on Chinese imports may face considerable challenges, threatening the stability of the broader e-commerce ecosystem. Trump acknowledges that these tariffs could inflict 'some pain' on Americans, primarily affecting goods that are essential yet often overlooked yet crucial for many brands.
This is all part of a bigger game of high stakes poker between the U.S. and China when it comes to trade negotiations.
There are a lot of businesses that source from China that are going to have a lot of problems-and a lot of those brands go under the radar for how important they are to the wider e-comm ecosystem.
In our industry, durable goods in the baby space, that's where it's made, and that's where there's a sophisticated enough supply chain and a trustworthy enough supply chain.
