Reduced demand from international markets and increased regulatory complexity are among the challenges that tariffs are posing businesses. Concerns about tariffs among businesses globally have continued to rise significantly over the last six months, according to a new report. The most recent edition of GlobalData’s Tariffs Sentiment Polls report shows that 37% of 444 businesses polled are significantly more concerned about tariffs than they were six months ago. Despite that, it shows that business concerns about tariffs have continued to rise significantly throughout 2025 and continue to do so. “Many companies already face rising expenses from a flat 10% tariff on exports to the US, along with broader pricing impacts from tariffs,” GlobalData’s report says.
