The 2025 Reshoring Survey reached an actionable conclusion. A sufficient quantity and quality of U.S. workforce would bring back more manufacturing than any of the other surveyed options — tariffs, a lower U.S. dollar, lower tax rates or fewer regulations.
The survey also revealed that only 30% of OEMs use total cost of ownership (TCO) in comparing domestic to offshore sourcing. Shifting the bulk of OEMs to TCO would reshore billions of dollars with no government subsidies, no supply chain shock, no retaliation and no impact on inflation after companies factored in all global risks and costs.
A Stronger Skilled Workforce Would Boost Reshoring
