Victoria Meyer is joined by Joseph Chang and Al Greenwood of ICIS Chemical Business to break down the latest round of tariffs, including the dramatic 145% rate on Chinese imports and the sweeping, if temporary, 10% baseline affecting nearly every other country. They analyze how chemical markets from the US to Europe and Asia are being impacted, exploring falling product prices, disrupted supply chains, and the broader economic pressures facing manufacturers and end users alike. \n \nWith insights into policy-driven chaos, shifting sourcing strategies, and the growing ripple effects on sectors like housing and automotive, this episode highlights why strategic scenario planning, supply chain transparency, and adaptability are more critical than ever for chemical leaders.\n  \nGet ready for an in-depth look at these topics this week: \nExploring the 2025 tariff policies and how they are reshaping chemical trade flows \nThe economic ripple effects of the tariff policies \nSupply chain resilience and why chemical companies must map their entire supply chains \nEnergy market dynamics: what is benefitting US chemical producers and what are the challenges \nStrategic planning in uncertainty and navigating the 90-day tariff pause \n\nKiller Quote: \"Look at your supply chains. Which products are you getting from Vietnam? Which products are you getting from lower tariff countries? And see where is the most advantageous supplier with the tariffs, and also look at product substitution... You have to be cognizant, not just of your supplies, but also your products. Which products could be affected by influx of displaced shipments?\" - Al Greenwood \n \nSubscribe to The Chemical Show on YouTube \n \n***Don’t miss an episode: Subscribe to The Chemical Show on your favorite podcast player. \n***Like what you hear?
