In 2026, Purolator commissioned a survey by HelloInfo involving 348 shipping and logistics decision-makers from Canada and the United States. This survey aimed to explore how businesses in various sectors, including industrial, retail, healthcare, and technology, are responding to the challenges posed by an unpredictable trade environment.
The findings are significant as they shed light on the strategies that Canadian and American companies are employing to mitigate the impacts of tariffs and trade volatility. Understanding these responses is crucial for stakeholders aiming to adapt to the evolving landscape of international trade.
Looking ahead, it will be important to monitor how these businesses continue to adjust their strategies in response to ongoing trade uncertainties. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
