Dublin, 13 May 2025 – <\/strong>Expleo, the global technology, engineering and consulting service provider, today announces the results of new research which points to a concern among large businesses in Ireland about global and local economic stability over the next 12 months. The research found that ongoing questions about tariff policies in the US have caused 57% of enterprises based here to investigate how they can reduce their reliance on the US.<\/p>

The research was carried out by Censuswide, on behalf of Expleo, among 200 business and IT decision-makers in Ireland, in enterprises with 250+ employees. It will be used to inform Expleo\u2019s annual Business Transformation Index and explored economic sentiment as the fallout of new US tariff policies continues to unfold. In doing so, it found that since November 2024, 64% of large organisations have assigned at least one person, or a team, to assess the impact of US policies on their business.<\/p>

Cited by 28% of business and IT leaders in large enterprises in Ireland, a trade war with the US is viewed as the second-greatest threat to Ireland\u2019s digital economy over the next 12 months. However, the greatest concern, according to 31% of those surveyed, is digital infrastructure constraints. Tied with the fear of a trade war with the US, 28% cited cybersecurity threats.<\/p>

Overall, 70% of enterprises believe Ireland is a good location for digital innovation. However, a cautious sentiment among enterprises may be bleeding into overall economic sentiment, with 63% saying they are preparing for a weaker Irish economy over the next 12 months. <\/strong>Almost the same proportion, 64%, are preparing for a weaker global economy in the next 12 months.<\/p>

Despite their economic concerns, 66% of large organisations are expecting business growth over the next 12 months. This rises to 72% for private enterprises, versus 62% for publicly listed companies.<\/p>

Phil Codd,<\/strong> Managing Director for Ireland, Expleo,<\/strong> said:<\/strong> \u201cOur research clearly points to a nervousness among the largest enterprises in Ireland about geopolitical risk. By diversifying their trading relationships and reducing overreliance on any one market \u2013 even one as significant as the US \u2013 organisations can build greater resilience against global economic shocks.<\/em><\/p>

\u201cHowever, it is crucial that businesses \u2013 particularly large ones \u2013 avoid knee-jerk reactions. The US remains the world\u2019s largest economy and an important trading partner. The goal should not be to abandon trading relationships with the US, but to supplement it with new ones. <\/em><\/p>

\u201cNow is not the time to retreat \u2013 it is a time for bold action. The most successful organisations of the future will be those who embrace change, not fear it. In times of uncertainty, they will step forward, innovate and transform. At Expleo, we are empowering enterprises to move with confidence. We are using data-driven insights and transformative strategies that enable organisations to stand up to disruption and harness it as a catalyst for progress.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
