HSBC's recent publication, the 2025 Global Trade Pulse Survey, highlights the challenges faced by global businesses, particularly concerning supply chain disruptions and rising costs attributed to tariffs and shifting trade policies. The survey, which encompasses insights from over 5,700 international firms across 13 markets, indicates that a significant portion of companies have experienced cost increases and are reevaluating their pricing strategies in response. Additionally, many businesses are considering adjustments to their long-term models, with a notable percentage planning to adopt nearshoring and reshoring strategies. Despite these challenges, the survey reflects a strong sense of optimism regarding the potential for growth in international trade, with many respondents expressing confidence in their ability to expand their global operations over the next two years.
