September 18, 2025
Meta Platforms could face a loss of $7 billion in advertising revenue this year due to President Donald Trump's tariffs impacting Chinese advertisers. This estimate comes from analysts at research firm MoffettNathanson. The projected revenue loss is a direct consequence of trade policies affecting major Chinese online retailers like Temu and Shein, who have significantly reduced their digital ad spending on Meta's platforms. This represents a substantial financial hit to Meta's top line. This situation highlights the severe economic consequences of geopolitical tensions and trade wars on global technology companies. The potential $7 billion reduction underscores the vulnerability of Meta's advertising business to international trade dynamics.
