Reshoring has moved well beyond crisis response. Since 2010, U.S. manufacturers and foreign investors have announced more than 2 million domestic manufacturing jobs. In 2024, that annual total reached 244,000, the third-highest year on record. The 2025 picture is more complex. Tariff volatility and policy uncertainty have slowed the pace. A persistent skilled labor shortage has stalled more than a few announced projects. But the structural shift away from offshore-first sourcing continues.
This page compiles verified data on reshoring job announcements, industry trends, primary decision drivers, and state-level activity. Sourcing teams and procurement professionals can use it to understand where reshoring stands, and how it applies to their own supply chain decisions.
Key Takeaways
Reshoring and FDI Job Announcements by Year
The reshoring trend accelerated sharply after 2020. COVID-19 exposed the fragility of offshore-dependent supply chains and triggered a sustained wave of domestic investment. The following table tracks annual job announcement totals alongside the primary force behind each period, based on data from the Reshoring Initiative. Note that these figures represent announced jobs, not jobs filled. The Reshoring Initiative reports that roughly 1.7 million of the 2-million-plus announced positions since 2010 have been filled.
| Year | Reshoring + FDI Jobs Announced | Primary Driver |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | ~160,000 | COVID-19 supply chain disruption |
| 2021 | ~260,000 | Post-COVID domestic manufacturing investment surge |
| 2022 | ~364,000 (record) | CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) enacted |
| 2023 | ~287,000 | CHIPS Act and IRA funding begins flowing |
| 2024 | 244,000 | U.S. company reshoring outpaces FDI by a record margin |
| 2025 (projected) | ~174,000 | Policy uncertainty delays major investment decisions |

Reshoring Activity by Industry Sector (2024)
Not all industries reshore at the same rate. Computer and electronics manufacturing and electrical equipment production together drove nearly two-thirds of all announced reshoring jobs in 2024. Both categories received significant federal tailwinds: CHIPS Act funding fueled semiconductor manufacturing, while the Inflation Reduction Act drove investment in EV batteries and solar components. The table below breaks down 2024 reshoring activity by sector, based on data from the Reshoring Initiative and Camoin Associates.
| Industry | Share of 2024 Reshoring Jobs | Key Driver |
|---|---|---|
| Computer & Electronics | ~35% | CHIPS Act incentives and semiconductor fab construction |
| Electrical Equipment | ~31% | EV battery and solar component production |
| Transportation Equipment | ~13% | Auto OEM localization and EV platform suppliers |
| Plastics & Rubber | Growing (up 126% YoY in select states) | Supply chain diversification away from Asia |
| Medical Devices | Steady | Dual-source mandates and regulatory compliance |

What Actually Motivates Companies to Reshore
Tariffs receive the most political attention in reshoring discussions, but they rank behind workforce availability when OEMs identify what would most accelerate their reshoring activity. The 2025 Reshoring Initiative survey asked manufacturers directly: what single factor would most increase the share of offshore products you bring back? The results reveal a clear hierarchy.
| Factor | Estimated Share of Offshore Products OEMs Would Reshore |
|---|---|
| Stronger skilled workforce availability | 30% |
| 15% tariff on offshore goods | 23% |
| 15% depreciation of the U.S. dollar | 21% |
| 15% reduction in the corporate tax rate | 18% |

Top States Attracting Reshoring Investment (2024–2025)
Reshoring investment flows unevenly across the country. Energy availability and workforce demographics largely determine which states win the largest share, alongside pro-business policy environments that reduce friction for large capital projects. The Southeast and Southwest have absorbed the highest concentrations of recent activity, with the Midwest holding steady in automotive and advanced manufacturing, according to Reshoring Initiative data from 2024 and Q1 2025.
| State | 2024 Ranking / Status | Key Sectors | Notable Activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | Top 2025 state | Semiconductor packaging; advanced manufacturing | Foxconn (Houston) and Wistron (Dallas) expansions |
| South Carolina | Top 2025 state | Automotive; EV batteries; aerospace | Tier 1 supplier localization across the Upstate region |
| Mississippi | #7 in 2024; projected #3 in 2025 | Transportation; plastics & rubber | 12,084 projected reshored jobs in 2025; transportation (+139%) and plastics/rubber (+126%) growth |
| Arizona | Semiconductor hub | Chip fabrication | Amkor expanded its Peoria investment from $2B to $7B |
| Ohio | Steady growth | Automotive; advanced manufacturing retrofits | Whirlpool committed $300M across its Clyde and Marion facilities |
