Fifty nine percent of contract manufacturers (CMs) have either already reshored for their customers, are actively reshoring, or are currently quoting reshoring.
Harry Moser’s new article focuses on the CM responses to the 2025 Reshoring Survey. Discover the fundamental insights and the actionable conclusions in Moser’s new article.
What are the broader trends driving reshoring? In this webcast Harry Moser suggests that companies dig into the numbers—total cost, not just price because they often realize they’re paying more than they think to stay offshore. Manufacturers often see savings in unexpected places like inventory, which showed an average drop of 60–70% and in one Illinois case, by 94%.
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.
Harry Moser explores a pressing question: Can reshoring succeed despite the growing skills gap? Harry highlights how companies lack control over tariffs and global geopolitics. However, workforce training emerges as a powerful, controllable lever for gaining a competitive edge. Harry offers actionable strategies to help businesses navigate today’s unpredictable landscape.
U.S. Reindustrialization — What will it take? Harry Moser writes, “The success or failure of training millions of workers could skew the outcome of the U.S. reindustrialization momentum in either direction. If the skills gap is not effectively addressed, 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled, with an estimated loss to GDP of $1T by 2030.
The Reshoring Initiative 2024 Annual Report shows that 244,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs were announced in 2024 via reshoring and foreign direct investment (FDI), continuing the nation’s push to rebuild domestic production capacity.
While early 2025 job announcements are trending lower, policy stability could quickly unlock another wave of reshoring-driven investment.
In this webcast, Harry Moser shares key insights from the 2025 Reshoring Survey results, which go beyond the perspective of OEMs to spotlight the vital role contract manufacturers (CMs) play in reshoring efforts. He offers a deep dive into the decision-making processes driving reshoring and discusses what additional steps are needed to accelerate this movement.
In this podcast, Harry Moser joined Jim Anderton on the Industry & Trends Podcast for a great conversation about how, when and why U.S. companies are moving production back to America.
This special report features manufacturing and economic expert insights from Harry Moser and Jeremy Leonard, hosted by longtime Manufacturing Talk Radio contributor Cliff Waldman. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
A new industry report reveals what government, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers (CMs) must do to further accelerate and benefit from reshoring.There have been a lot of reshoring surveys in the last few years. Find out why this one is especially newsworthy.
Harry Moser’s new article discusses the current tariff volatility and the global disruptions that are reshaping supply chains, with a goal of cutting through the confusion – not to defend or oppose the tariff program but to understand it.
Manufacturers have rising concerns about supply chain disruption, skyrocketing manufacturing costs for materials and inputs, and tariff flip-flops are making investment decision-making nearly impossible. In this new article Harry Moser discusses how to survive tariff chaos and prepare for the global shift.
