At Mobility123, we’re dedicated to making homes safer, more accessible, and comfortable for everyone. As a leading provider of home accessibility solutions, we prioritize delivering high-quality, reliable products at fair prices, helping you feel confident in your investment. While we’re not experts on tariffs, we recognize their potential to affect industries like ours, which depend on international partnerships for specialized equipment. Although tariffs aren’t currently affecting our product prices, we are doing our best to understand how future policy decisions might impact the accessibility solutions market. Our goal is to stay prepared so we can continue to bring you the value and quality you expect from us.
What Are Tariffs and Why Do They Matter?
Tariffs are taxes placed on imported goods, intended to support domestic industries by making foreign products more expensive than local alternatives. By raising the price of imported goods, tariffs create incentives for consumers to choose U.S.-made products, ideally strengthening domestic industries and fostering job growth.
However, in markets like accessibility solutions, where specialized imports are often necessary to meet specific needs, tariffs can lead to higher costs or fewer options. At Mobility123, we rely on the quality and innovation of products from trusted manufacturers like Savaria, which manufactures in Canada, and Stiltz, whose products are built, assembled, and shipped from overseas. While we’re not experts in tariffs, we’re committed to staying informed on potential changes so that, if policies shift, we’re ready to adapt in ways that minimize impact on our customers.
Potential Impact of Tariffs on Accessibility Solutions
Potential Pros of Tariffs: Supporting Domestic Industry
A key purpose of tariffs is to boost U.S. industries by encouraging more consumers to buy American-made products. When import prices increase, domestic manufacturers gain a more competitive position, which can lead to increased demand and local job growth.
In some cases, tariffs can lead to stronger domestic industries over time. While the accessibility market is highly specialized and may offer limited domestic manufacturing options, this approach has the broader aim of creating a more resilient economy.
Potential Drawbacks of Tariffs for Mobility123 Customers
While tariffs can benefit some sectors, they can also introduce challenges, especially in a specialized field like accessibility solutions. Here are some potential drawbacks:
- Higher Costs for Accessibility Products: If tariffs are imposed on accessibility products like Savaria and Stiltz lifts, the cost of importing these items may rise, which could increase the prices customers ultimately pay. For those who depend on affordable accessibility products, even a modest increase can affect their options. Our priority remains on providing fair and transparent pricing for the solutions we offer.
- Reduced Product Variety and Availability: Because many accessibility products are designed with specialized engineering and features that may not have local alternatives, tariffs could limit product choices. For customers seeking highly specific solutions, fewer options could be a barrier to finding the right fit for their needs. We’re committed to maintaining a range of high-quality solutions, even if policies change.
- Challenges for Cost-Sensitive Customers: Many of our customers are working within a budget, so increased costs due to tariffs could make accessibility modifications more difficult for families and individuals with limited financial flexibility. Given that accessibility solutions are essential for safe, functional living spaces, any potential increase in costs could impact the ability to invest in these essential upgrades.
