Holiday shoppers feel the squeeze from tariffs and shipping costs

Key stat: One-third of US adults say prices are noticeably higher on certain products due to tariffs or shipping/import changes, according to a July survey from Omnisend and Cint.

Beyond the chart:

  • Over a third (35%) of US adults will spend less overall in holiday shopping this year due to tariffs/price increases, per an August 2025 survey from Radial and Dynata.
  • For holiday shoppers looking for tech products and services, rising prices and tariffs are the top concern (52%) this year, according to August 2025 data from CNET.

Use this chart: Retailers and marketers can use this chart as guidance to highlight domestic shipping speed and reliability in holiday promotions and to adjust pricing and inventory strategies to address early-bird shoppers. Retailers can also reassess reliance on international suppliers or be transparent with customers about potential delays or fees.
