The United States is reshaping its critical minerals strategy with new executive actions, defense-led financing tools, and trade frameworks designed to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers and secure semiconductor, EV, and electronics supply chains. As global demand increases and supply risks grow, this timely roundtable will bring together industry leaders and technology stakeholders to discuss how these policies are influencing investment decisions, reshoring efforts, and global partnerships—particularly with allies such as Australia, Japan, and Malaysia.  

Discussion will explore the implications for the consumer technology sector amid Section 232 tariffs, offtake agreements, and international supply-chain coordination. 

Join CTA’s research team and fellow CTA members as we unwrap early holiday season insights across major shopping moments, discuss economic trends driving consumer purchase behavior, and explore the factors impacting retailers as we move into the final weeks of the 2025 holiday season. We will share details from CTA’s annual Pre-Black Friday and Holiday studies, as well as the Consumer Technology Forecast Snapshot, including the impact of market dynamics such as pricing, promotions, and tariffs. Members will also be invited to share their experiences and expectations across all retail channels to build a more complete view of the season and what is resonating most with consumers.
