A KPMG Canada survey says trade tensions are prompting some Canadian manufacturers to consider shifting production to the United States and adjusting investment plans. The poll reports that 42% of Canadian manufacturing companies indicate they have or are considering moving production to the U.S. Among those contemplating a move, 77% expect the relocation decision to involve longer-term investment planning rather than short-term adjustments. The survey also points to the broader effect of an uncertain trade environment on capital spending in Canada, with additional firms weighing changes to production locations and timing. One outlet reports that some manufacturers are delaying capital investments in Canada as uncertainty grows, suggesting the tension is affecting not only where companies produce, but also when they expand or upgrade facilities. Overall, the results highlight a significant share of the sector actively reassessing cross-border manufacturing strategies, with decisions tied to ongoing trade pressures and the outlook for future market access.
