StorageUnits.com: 4 in 10 Americans Are Stockpiling Goods in Fear of Tariffs

Americans prepare for anticipated economic shifts under President-elect Donald Trump.

SEATTLE, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — StorageUnits.com, a reliable and user-friendly platform for finding the best and most convenient storage facilities, recently published findings from a December 2024 survey examining Americans’ preparedness in response to anticipated economic shifts under President-elect Donald Trump. The survey of 1,750 U.S. residents highlights significant stockpiling activity and large purchases.

According to the survey, 28% of Americans are actively stockpiling goods, with another 17% planning to start soon. Household essentials (78%) and non-perishable foods (78%) rank as the most commonly stockpiled items, while 20% of respondents say they are stockpiling a year’s supply or more. Among active stockpilers, 15% have already spent over $1,000, and 7% are using rental storage units to manage their surplus goods.

Fear of tariffs is a key driver behind this behavior, with 9 in 10 respondents expressing concern about how Trump’s proposed tariffs will impact the cost of goods. The survey also reveals that 1 in 3 Americans have made or plan to make large purchases—such as electronics, appliances, and cars—before Trump takes office, citing his election as a significant influence on their decisions.
