WHAT YOU'LL GET

The impact of US tariffs

New tariffs are hitting American wallets — and the impact may be sharper than expected. Our latest research dives into the behaviors and attitudes of 1,000 consumers across the U.S., revealing which categories are most vulnerable to a price hike and where consumers are reaching their limit.

We explore:

  • Which categories will take the biggest hit with just a 5–10% price increase

  • Why 80% of Americans feel unprepared for the financial impact of tariffs

  • How politics, income, and media shape consumer understanding and support for tariffs

  • What it all means for brand loyalty and innovation strategy

If you’re in marketing, insights, or innovation, this report is your cheat sheet to shifting consumer priorities — and how to stay ahead of them.

A 5–10% price increase is enough to change behavior in most categories. For example, 56% of consumers would stop buying snacks at just a 10% markup.
