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.
2025 Reshoring Survey: 59% of Shops Reshored or Are Quoting
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%.
From offshore challenges to domestic solutions
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
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.
Crisis In The Workforce: Can Reshoring Continue Despite Our Skills Gap?
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.
Reshoring Initiative Article
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.
