Industry analysis

How big trade deficit drop as tariffs hit imports is playing out inside U.S. supply chain and economy

The U.S. trade deficit fell by the largest amount on record in April as imports fell by over 16% after a surge in orders to beat President Trump's tariffs, but there's a worrying flip side for the consumer. Flexport has launched a tariff analysis tool that allows businesses and consumers to model the impact of tariffs on prices. This tool helps companies calculate potential tariff costs and explore alternative sourcing options to achieve savings and diversification.

Tariffs on Chinese goods could devastate American small businesses

Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen warned that U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports could lead to the bankruptcy of many American small businesses by 2025. Flexport's ocean freight bookings from China have decreased by 35% since the tariffs took effect, with industry-wide estimates suggesting a 50% drop. This decline could result in approximately $1 trillion in lost economic activity. Petersen also highlighted the risk of bankrupt American brands being acquired by their Chinese manufacturers, potentially allowing Chinese firms to dominate the value chain.

Flexport identifies five key takeaways from White House’s tariffs

It was just last Wednesday that President Trump announced his new tariff schedule with the rest of the world. And it's already having an effect. Companies are scrambling to get goods on planes or boats to beat the first deadline. Companies are already trying to get out of existing contracts. And some previously planned factory endeavors have even been put on hold. Ryan Petersen, founder and CEO of Flexport, discussed his observations from the perspective of his business, focusing on the operational implementation of tariffs and how things could change if the current tariffs remain in place.

Leaders in the ratio of valuation to investment

The histogram shows the ratio of the company's value to the volume of investments received. The post-money estimate of the last round is taken as the cost of the company. The volume of investments is the amount of funds raised by the company during all rounds + debt financing. The histogram shows the coefficient obtained by dividing the value of the company by the amount of investments received by it. Accordingly, the higher the coefficient, the better: the less money the company needed to achieve its valuation. The companies on the histogram are arranged in descending order of the coefficient.

Growth rates of companies in the sector

This chart illustrates the progression of private companies' official valuations over time. The post-money valuation of the company during each official financing round is depicted. Each data point represents an investment round, with the company's valuation expressed in US dollars. The timeline is displayed in quarters. By default, the most recent quarters are visible, but you can navigate to earlier periods using the left scroll. To view the chart in full screen, utilize the chart submenu options.
