As tariffs drive up costs for companies, manufacturers, and consumers, changes in competitor behavior, consumer expectations for value, spending habits, and promotional strategies also occur, which in turn affect both demand and revenue. These are uncontrollable market factors that all companies will face.

To limit tariff impacts, all controllable factors must be in play from adjusting upstream development by designing for value and reshaping the assortment curve to focusing on downstream cost savings by optimizing logistics and distribution costs. We call this a Product Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach, and it is an essential strategy so businesses can offset tariff impacts, preserve profitability, and build financial resilience for the future.
