Uncertainty. Tariffs. Trade Wars. And a New Wave of Ultra-Cheap Imports

April 15, 2025 12:51 pm

The European economy isn’t just feeling a chill — it’s caught in a perfect storm.

As the U.S. moves toward higher tariffs under Trump 2.0 rhetoric, European manufacturers — especially those producing subassemblies for export — are starting to brace. The domino effect?

  • Logistic firms with idle fleets.
  • Marketing agencies with paused campaigns.
  • Accounting firms with fewer invoices to process.

It’s not just factories — it’s the whole B2B chain.

Rising unemployment slows consumer confidence. And when people stop spending, online retail feels it first.

Meanwhile…

Platforms like Shein, Temu, and Trendyol flood the market with ultra-cheap products. Money flows out of Europe, often tax-free, toward manufacturers in China.

The result?

  • Local online stores close.
  • SMEs struggle to compete.
  • Consumption shifts, but value creation doesn’t stay here.
