Disclaimer: Panel was recorded on 8 May 2025 before the US-China trade agreement on tariff rollbacks for a 90-day period was announced on 12 May 2025. Hear this panel to unpack the impact of Trump’s tariffs on the global trade landscape. You’ll gain insights that can help you operate in today’s volatile economy as policy shifts continue at speed. Euromonitor experts discuss the ripple effects of evolving US tariffs, review the latest economic forecasts and outline market opportunities for your organisation. Supply chains, pricing strategies and investments face intense scrutiny amid this uncertainty. And business leaders are left with the impossible task of trying to predict what’s ahead. Impulsive, reactive decisions could be detrimental to long-term success—especially when new exemptions or changes in tariffs are happening by the day. Case in point: just four days after we recorded this panel, the US and China announced an agreement to reduce tariffs for a 90-day period (bookmark our hub for updated analysis). Tune in to our lively talk that addresses some of the questions we’re all asking right now. Find answers to your business concerns: · Are these tariffs hitting global economic projections? · What’s the impact on companies and consumers? · How could pricing and inventory shift in the coming months? · Where do opportunities exist in this marketplace? · Which tactics or tools help you mitigate risks and build resilience? Companies can transform tariff shocks into a foundation for sustained competitive advantage with comprehensive market intelligence.

“We started focusing purely on water, sanitation, hygiene, education, because that's the starting point, but it's the starting point to so much more. It's the starting point to better health, more safety, better education, food security, gender equality, climate action; the impacts are significant right across the board.” -Fiona Jeffery   On World Water Day, join Caroline and Fiona Jeffery, the founder of Just a Drop, in this episode as they discuss the inspiration behind the charity. Fiona started Just a Drop after working in the travel and tourism industry, where she saw a lack of effort in protecting the environment and giving back to communities. Through her research, she discovered that a child was dying every 17 seconds from dirty water, leading her to create a grassroots charity that supports communities around the world with sustainable water solutions, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education.   Fiona and Caroline explore the connection between sustainable travel and Just a Drop's work. They share specific examples of the charity's programs in Cambodia, Nicaragua, Kenya, and Uganda, where they have provided appropriate low-tech and sustainable solutions to meet the communities' specific needs. Just a Drop aims to make a lasting difference in communities and give people the hope and belief that they can take ownership of their futures. Since 2016, Euromonitor International has been one of Just a Drop's headline charity partners. Our involvement has helped the charity's programs and projects across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, benefiting over 20,000 people. Millions of women walk for hours every day, just to collect water. But how far would you go? For World Water Day, Just a Drop are challenging people to scroll through one woman’s 9km walk to the well and back – the longest Twitter thread ever made.

After a booming summer for socializing, things are starting to cool off. Inflation and the cost-of-living crisis are catching up with consumers who might still have some pent-up desire to go out. These conflicting desires leave consumers dangling between spend and save, while still looking for ways to continue their social lives. So what are they doing? How are people getting together when money is tight? On the tail end of the holiday season and as the popular “dry January” ends, our expersts discuss what’s next in this transitional time. Join Michael Shaefer, Spiros Malandrakis, and Zora Milenkovic as they discuss: Will financial pressures cause a decline in spending on social occasions? Or is there enough pent-up desire to outweigh the costs? Or will consumers simply find different, perhaps cheaper, ways of getting together? What opportunities exist for brands in this evolving landscape?   Want to learn more about the biggest consumer trends this year?

The fourth in a series exploring the impact of hybrid work on Western European industries, this episode explores the opportunities for destinations and brands in the growing "Bleisure Travel" market. Bleisure, the idea of combining business travel with leisure travel, is not new but it is booming. Instead of extending business travel to include a little leisure, hybrid workers are taking advantage of flexible work to extend their vacations by getting some work done. But what, if anything, are destinations and brands doing to cater to this growing crowd? Euromonitor's Alexander Göransson and Stephen Dutton talk us through some of their findings from their recent report, Bleisure and the Future of Travel and Work. Who are Bleisure travelers?

Adeife Onwuzulike, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at Euromonitor International, knows the true value of working in an inclusive and diverse company. She recently joined Euromonitor from The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) - where she was also Head of Diversity and Inclusion. At the CBI Adeife worked on embedding DEI into the business culture and strategy and created and managed a number of employee networks and worked with their clients on their DEI journey. She worked tirelessly to ensure that the organization was not only diverse but also a place where all employees felt like they can be their true authentic selves. After almost three years of a global pandemic and political and racial tensions increasing across the globe, issues around DEI have become even more critical for luxury and fashion businesses to address than ever before. The long list of new diversity and inclusion recruits witnessed across the luxury and fashion sector over the last 12 months shows that the needle is indeed moving. However, there is still a long way to go. In this podcast Adeife Onwuzulike shares her expertise and knowledge in this area with Marguerite LeRolland, Head of Fashion and Fflur Robert, Head of Luxury at Euromonitor International and addresses questions around what’s here now and what’s to come next.
