Allianz Trade Global Survey 2025 Findings

This document is a research report detailing the findings of the Allianz Trade Global Survey conducted in May 2025. The survey reveals that over half of exporters anticipate longer payment terms due to the ongoing trade war, with many expecting delays exceeding seven days. The report outlines various coping mechanisms employed by companies, such as frontloading, rerouting shipments, and diversifying supply sources to mitigate the effects of unpredictable trade policies. It also highlights the impact of the US-China trade war on exporter confidence, with a significant percentage of companies expecting a decline in turnover. The findings indicate a shift in strategic preferences among firms, with many seeking alternative markets and adjusting their supply chains in response to geopolitical risks. Additionally, the report discusses the implications of the trade war on payment terms and the rising non-payment risk among exporters, particularly in the US, Italy, and the UK. Overall, the survey provides critical insights into the current state of international trade and its challenges.
