According to Xometry’s latest American Manufacturing Resurgence Poll, 48% of CEOs have reshored some or all of their operations, representing a huge jump from last quarter’s figure of 35%.
Conducted in partnership with Zogby Strategies and Forbes, this quarterly poll tracks decision-makers and C-suite sentiment at over 150 leading U.S. organizations, making it an excellent tool for gaining insight into the strategies of the nation’s leading businesses.
Reshoring, the process of bringing manufacturing operations back to the nation where a company is based, has gained significant traction in recent years. Pandemic-related supply chain disruptions revealed some significant vulnerabilities in American manufacturing strategies, defects that policy-makers and business leaders aim to remedy through reshoring.
Ongoing conflicts, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and instability across Asia and Europe, have spurred CEOs to double down on reshoring efforts and bring their operations back stateside.
While these efforts have benefited the U.S. job market as a whole, several states have become reshoring hotspots. Below are the five states benefiting the most from reshoring and why industries are choosing these locations.
