Home Depot, one of the largest home improvement retailers in the United States, has announced that it may raise prices on certain product categories due to the impact of newly imposed tariffs. While much of its inventory still comes from domestic suppliers, about half of its goods are imported, leaving the company exposed to higher import costs.

Executives emphasized that any adjustments would be “modest” and focused only on specific imported items, rather than a broad increase across all departments. The move reflects the challenge retailers face as they attempt to absorb rising expenses while still offering competitive prices and maintaining customer loyalty.

Home Depot warns of possible price increases amid Trump tariffs

The announcement comes at a time when many major retail chains are also navigating economic uncertainty and increased costs. With inflationary pressures and new trade barriers shaping the market, companies like Home Depot are carefully balancing their pricing strategies to protect profits without discouraging shoppers.

Why is Home Depot choosing selective increases instead of a general price hike?

Because targeting only categories affected by tariffs allows the company to shield its profit margins while keeping most of its products affordable. This approach helps minimize the impact on customers while still addressing the financial pressures created by higher import duties.
