Dodging Tariffs to Remain Prime Focus of Manufacturers

Saint Gobain PAM, Jindal SAW Ltd., Kubota Corporation, Electrotherm, and Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes Co. Ltd. are key players with extensive DIP footprint across the globe. Despite holding a dominating market share and extensive presence, tariffs and anti-dumping duties are reducing confidence among these players, which could lead to ultimate rise in prices of imported ductile iron pipes.

Key countries imposing tariffs are Brazil, India, and EU countries, among others, providing a strong blow to manufacturers channelling ductile iron pipes at extremely low prices. To deal with this pressing issue, Fact.MR has published a report with key strategies to assist manufacturers struggling to find their way in potential markets, by dodging existing tariffs.
