Recently, the new round of tariff policies implemented by the United States is having a widespread impact on the display rack industry. Due to rising raw material costs, unstable supply chains, and squeezed profit margins, major products such as rotating display racks and wooden display racks are facing multiple challenges. Whether it's procurement plans, pricing mechanisms, or sales models, the entire market is being forced to make adjustments. This article will analyze in detail the direct impact of the current situation on the markets of rotating display racks and wooden display racks , and explore the response strategies of retailers and manufacturers.
Overview of Changes in US Tariff Policies
According to the latest tariff adjustment, the United States has imposed higher tax rates on imported metal and wooden goods. For display rack manufacturers that rely on overseas raw materials, the impact is particularly significant. As a representative of metal products, the production cost of rotating display racks has significantly increased; And wooden display racks , which also belong to the category of wooden products, are also under pressure in terms of cost control.
The soaring prices of raw materials, increased transportation costs, and uncertainty in the global supply chain have put great pressure on local sales channels. Some buyers are turning to Southeast Asian countries for alternative solutions, while others are choosing to reduce order quantities to mitigate inventory risks. These changes are quietly reshaping the procurement model and circulation structure of rotating display racks and wooden display racks .
Rotating display racks: rising costs and market cooling
The impact on the rotating display racks is more direct. Due to its structure being mostly composed of metal, including key components such as brackets and rotating shafts, any fluctuations in raw material prices will quickly be reflected in product costs. For some small and medium-sized manufacturers, their already limited profit margins have been further compressed, and many factories have suspended the production of rotating display racks and instead invested in producing more profitable products.
In addition, the rotating display racks has high requirements for process accuracy, and the space for using alternative materials is very limited, making it more difficult to reduce costs. Although some brands have attempted to pass on costs through price adjustments, the market response has not been positive. Retailers have been cautious in the face of price increases, leading to a stagnation in sales growth for rotating display racks
.
Wooden Display Stand: Adjusting Strategy to Bring Space
Compared with metal products, wooden display racks have certain flexibility in cost control. Many manufacturers control production costs by simplifying product structures and optimizing designs, making wooden display racks still highly competitive in terms of price. This strategy not only reduces the pressure brought by tariffs, but also maintains the quality level of products.
At the same time, some companies are gradually shifting towards localized assembly and establishing production chains in the United States or Mexico to bypass tax barriers. Although this layout requires a higher initial investment, in the long run, it will help achieve a more stable supply cycle and price system for wooden display racks.
In terms of market demand, wooden display racks still have impressive performance. The warm texture created by its natural materials and its compatibility with environmental trends make it widely popular in retail spaces. Especially in stores that emphasize brand image and visual style, wooden display racks are still the preferred option. The combination of innovative design and precision marketing has brought sustained market attention to it.
