A convergence of geopolitical and demographic trends, policy shifts, and regional conflicts has driven accelerated industrial growth in the United States and reshaped global supply chains. Manufacturing construction spending has tripled since 2020, reaching $234 billion in the 12 months ending May 2024. As China’s cost advantage wanes, re-shoring has intensified, with 90% of North American manufacturers relocating some production from China in the past five years—a trend likely to continue.

These developments represent significant opportunities for both companies and advisors. Companies can enhance their supply chains, making them more resilient and responsive to customer needs. Advisors have a role in helping manufacturers prepare for capital raising, acquisitions, and process optimization.
