A new industry survey capturing the perspectives of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers (CMs) on reshoring and domestic supply chain sourcing is set to be released this April in a joint project between the Reshoring Initiative® and Regions Recruiting®. 

The U.S. has shifted from producing the lion’s share of the world’s goods to now relying heavily on imports. In the mid to late 1940s America produced half of the world’s manufacturing output, much higher than the 28% that China produces today.

The Reshoring Initiative, in collaboration with Regions Recruiting, recently announced the launch of an industrywide survey examining what is factoring into manufacturers’ decisions on whether to reshore factories and supply chains. This research comes at a critical time as the U.S. rebuilds its hollowed-out manufacturing base.

Manufacturing activity skyrocketedpost-pandemic and spending in themanufacturing sector ballooned. Reshoringand foreign direct investment (FDI) trendsdemonstrated strength and longevity, drivenby risks associated with global politics andclimate change and by supportive U.S.industrial policies.

The Reshoring Initiative, in collaboration with Regions Recruiting, created an industry-wide survey examining what factors into manufacturers’ decisions on whether to reshore factories and supply chains. The nationwide survey will gather experience and insights from manufacturing operations, supply chain and procurement decision makers, contract manufacturers and distributors.
