**What Happened**  
A KPMG survey reveals 34% of US companies pass over half their tariff costs to customers. Additionally, 82% report decreased foreign sales a year after tariff implementation.

**Why It Matters for the AECM Industry**  
Rising material costs and reduced export opportunities affect project budgets and timelines. Contractors and manufacturers face pressure to increase prices, impacting procurement and supply chain strategies.

**What's Next**  
Businesses plan further price increases to offset tariffs. Monitoring tariff policy changes will be critical for project cost forecasting and contract negotiations.
