Supply Chain

The global automotive industry is in one of its most turbulent periods in decades. A volatile mix of geopolitical tensions, sweeping tariffs, and a sharp rise in supplier bankruptcies is reshaping the landscape—putting even leading automakers at risk.

We kicked off the summer at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE in Chicago, where thousands of industry leaders gathered to discuss strategies and solutions for mitigating today’s supply chain risk. As a risk solution provider, RapidRatings sponsored the event and was given the space and stage to spotlight our FHR solution and share our expertise with a network of supply chain professionals.

With the current tariff levels reduced to a 30% tariff on Chinese goods and a continued 10% universal tariff, we’ve updated our analysis to reflect what businesses are experiencing today, and what they should brace for next.

To help our clients understand the potential consequences of tariffs on their operations, RapidRatings conducted a series of stress tests based on our knowledge of global supply chain structures and country specific tariff rates. The following analysis assumed that companies increased their prices to cover half the cost of tariffs.
