Trends Shaping the Return of Manufacturing to the U.S.

Issued at 2017-03-29



The viability and vitality of U.S. manufacturing has been restored, according to the current economic and political indicators, but in fact that restoration process has been in progress for several years, marked by trends like “reshoring” and demonstrated by capital investments in new production capabilities, the embrace of “smart” technologies, and in manufacturers’ adoption of new information standards and data communication capabilities.

"Ongoing learning, training, and professional development will be necessary for manufactures to stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and processes. U.S. manufacturing is changing, and U.S. manufacturers must understand the changes in order to be prepared for the opportunities."


Even more important, the condition of U.S. manufacturing has been under examination for decades. Against the obvious and impressive expansion of manufacturing economies elsewhere in the world, U.S. manufacturers have had to adapt to evolving standards for product quality and customer satisfaction, in order to remain globally competitive. Note though, regardless of the recent good news on this front, the standards for U.S. manufacturers to maintain their global competitiveness continue to evolve.
