The toy giant Mattel says that it could increase its prices in the United States to compensate for the impact of the prices imposed by Donald Trump.
This occurs after the American president imposed prices of 10% on all imports from China, where just under 40% of the company’s production is based.
In addition to potential price increases, Barbie and Hot Wheels manufacturer says he may have to implement changes in his supply chain.
In the United States, consumer and companies have warned that prices could disrupt supply chains and cause higher prices.
“The guidelines include the planned impact of new American prices … announced on February 1, and mitigate the actions we plan to take, in particular by taking advantage of the strength of our supply chain and potential prices,” said declared Mattel in his quarterly report.
The toy industry was faced with slower sales in 2024, because a higher cost of living meant that buyers had less money to spend in toys.
Despite this, Mattel’s actions jumped 10% in prolonged exchanges in New York, after Wall Street analysts have planned better benefits for next year.
During the weekend, the chief of the international in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, John Murphy, said that the Trump pricing plan will only increase the prices of American families and upset the channels of supply “.
This week, the American president interrupted his intention to impose a 25% rate on imports from Canada and Mexico, but continued the samples from Chinese manufacturing goods.
