Trump has another tariff plan to reshore generic drug production. Will it work?

A new tariff proposal aims to reshore generic drug production by providing the pharmaceutical industry with more time to transition its global supply chain.

Why this matters to buyers

Buyers in the pharmaceutical sector may face a longer timeline for supply chain adjustments but could see a gradual shift in sourcing locations for generic drugs, potentially affecting costs and lead times.

Recommended buyer actions

  • Assess the impact of potential reshoring on the cost and availability of generic drug inputs.
  • Engage with current suppliers to understand their transition plans in response to the proposal.
