In a flash poll conducted by Industrial Media, we asked manufacturing and engineering professionals, “How will tariffs impact U.S. manufacturing?”
Within 24 hours, we received more than 200 responses. Some 56% of respondents believe tariffs will hurt U.S. manufacturing, and 44% of industry professionals think it will help it.
According to reports, the costs of tariff increases are starting to materialize for U.S. manufacturers that depend on global supply chains. A recent analysis suggests that factory costs could increase by roughly 2% to 4.5%.
Here is a list of some of our most recent tariff coverage:
Thank you to all of the professionals who shared their feedback. The flash polls are a new feature across our websites. The polls will be live for 24 hours, and the results will be reported on our websites, in our newsletters and discussed during the Today in Manufacturing podcast, a top industry podcast hosted by David Mantey, Anna Wells and Jeff Reinke.
