Beyond Tariff Waves: Building Enduring MedTech Supply Chains – Part Two

Strengthening MedTech Supply Chains Despite Tariff Pressures

Global tariff volatility continues to challenge MedTech manufacturers, reshaping supply chains and long-term competitiveness. Part One of this series detailed the disruptive impact of tariff cycles on traditional supply chains. In Part Two, we outline the decisions and strategies leaders must pursue to speed-up innovation in uncertain trade environments.

Operational Strategies for Tariff-Resilient Medical Device Manufacturing

This white paper presents actionable strategies for MedTech decision-makers seeking to develop agile and resilient supply chains. It provides a clear comparative analysis of nearshoring vs. India-based manufacturing, with a focus on U.S.-based companies. Manufacturing and supply chain strategies are suggested for major device categories based on import reliance and tariff sensitivity.

Moreover, this paper outlines tactical responses and manufacturing approaches that leaders can adopt to help steer through today’s tariff-intensive environment. These include:

• Reshoring and nearshoring models
• Assessment of regional cost and CapEx
• Geographic diversification of sourcing and production
• Tariff engineering and smart product classification
• Contract manufacturing partnerships
• Hybrid, multi-market manufacturing

The paper also considers compliance, risk, and commercial imperatives that must be balanced in order to leverage cost advantages while implementing robust risk management. Understanding such trade-offs will help MedTech companies avoid costly missteps and position themselves for sustainable growth.
