90 Percent of US Companies Plan to Reshore Amid Tariffs, Allianz Survey Finds

Most firms also plan to raise prices as the U.S. tariffs drive broad shifts in supply chains and pricing strategies.

Nine out of 10 U.S. companies say they expect to bring some or all of their production or sourcing back home in response to new tariffs imposed under President Donald Trumpโ€™s trade policy, according to the latest Allianz Trade Global Survey.

The survey, published on May 20, hints at an acceleration in reshoring efforts as U.S. firms adapt to the tariffs, as Trump pursues a global trade reset to boost domestic manufacturing and correct what he says are decades of unfair practices by other countries that put the United States at a disadvantage.

Allianz researchers found that roughly 90 percent of U.S. companies plan to reshore or switch to domestic suppliers in the wake of the April 2 global tariff announcement. U.S. firms ranked among the most likely in the world to pursue domestic sourcing, alongside companies in Italy and Spain.

โ€œThat said, it may be easier said than done,โ€ the Allianz reportโ€™s authors wrote. โ€œWhen asked about the top hurdles standing in the way of reshoring, supplier-related issues and no longer higher costs was the top choice compared to last year. Labor-related issues round up the top three hurdles.โ€

More than three-quarters of companies pointed to supply chain structureโ€”their complexity, concentration, or competitionโ€”as a key threat to offshore production, with the high share of declared reshoring intentions suggesting that firms see clear benefits to simpler, domestic supply chains in the face of Trumpโ€™s trade policies.

At the same time, a majority of U.S. firms say they plan to raise prices to offset the effects of tariffs. Fifty-four percent of U.S. companies said they would increase prices following the April tariff hike, up from 46 percent beforehand.

โ€œIn sharp contrast to the optimism seen before the April 2 tariff wave, this yearโ€™s Global Survey confirms what weโ€™re observing across markets: uncertainty and fragmentation are becoming structural,โ€ Aylin Somersan Coqui, CEO of Allianz Trade, said in a statement, adding that companies with highly concentrated supply chains and export markets have the highest risk exposure to the administrationโ€™s tariff policies.
