Exporters are taking new approaches to spread risk and rethinking strategies in reaction to the unpredictability tariffs have brought to global trade. After managing through the pandemic earlier this decade they are now seeking to out new markets, adjusting logistics, passing logistical responsibilities to suppliers and changing shipping routes. As the uncertainty continues exporters are also concerned about the financial pinch as shown by data in the 2025 Allianz Trade Global Survey. “As exporters face longer payment cycles and rising insolvency risks, they’re under pressure to pass on costs, source from new markets, or even reconsider their entire international footprint,” said Ana Boata, head of economic research at Allianz Trade.
