According to international information, companies such as Microsoft, Dell and HP are preparing for the ‘Trump Era’. The companies asked suppliers to speed up production of chipsets, with the aim of increasing the amount of stock before the new president takes office in the White House.
Apparently the request is old, and Microsoft, Dell and HP have been preparing for the return of Donald Trump for a few months. According to the information, Chinese component suppliers are working as quickly as possible before the supposed rate increase is implemented.
Donald Trump has promised to raise rates in several countries, including Mexico, Canada, China and Taiwan. If it moves forward with its plan, the global technology industry should be significantly impacted. For this reason, companies like Microsoft are already preparing for possible developments from the Trump administration.
Information from Nikkei Asia reveals that Microsoft even asked suppliers to leave nations about to receive the new tariffs. Likewise, companies like Dell and HP are formulating plans to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers.
Trump era could impact the technology sector
The supposed promises of the Trump Era could significantly impact the technology segment. China seeks to shield itself against Trump’s threats and has already increased controls on the export of rare metals.
South Korea is also seeking to boost the production of companies like Samsung, accelerating the production of components with the idea of ​​providing financial subsidies. Donald Trump’s promises should increase pressure on the segment and result in an increase in product prices.
A study by the CTA (Consumer Technology Association), products from all layers of the technology sector are expected to increase. Among the main price increases, laptops could rise by 46%, consoles by 40% and smartphones could become 26% more expensive.
We emphasize that these price increases are speculation and will only happen in the worst case scenario. Furthermore, the Trump Era will only actually increase pressure on the segment if the president actually implements the proposed increase in rates. These were his campaign promises, but first he needs to fulfill them.
