Reshoring is accelerating fast enough that the US announced 364,000 reshoring and FDI jobs in 2022, a 10% jump from the year before, and momentum has carried into 2023 with 162,000 reshoring announcements in the first three quarters alone. The surprise is how often the decision is not just about labor costs but about total cost math and risk tradeoffs, like TCO gaps shrinking and logistics disruptions pushing companies back toward domestic supply.
Key Takeaways
- Reshoring labor cost savings averaged 15% when including total cost of ownership
- Total cost of ownership (TCO) gap between US and China narrowed to 2-6% in 2022 from 5-9% in 2010 for manufacturing
- Supply chain disruption risk motivated 93% of reshoring decisions in 2022 per Reshoring Initiative survey
- In 2022, the United States announced 364,000 reshoring and FDI jobs, marking the second highest year on record and a 10% increase from 2021
- Cumulative reshoring and FDI job announcements in the US reached 1,000,000 by end of 2022 since tracking began in 2010
- Reshoring accounted for 78% of all announced jobs in 2022, up from 67% in 2021, totaling 283,000 jobs
- Midwest states captured 35% of 2022 reshoring jobs, led by Ohio and Michigan
- Southeast US saw 25% of reshoring announcements in 2022, with 45,000 jobs in auto and batteries
- Texas announced 28,000 reshoring jobs in 2022, third highest nationally
- Automotive sector led reshoring with 26% of all announcements in 2022, driven by EV supply chains
- Semiconductors represented 12% of 2022 reshoring jobs, totaling 44,000 announcements post-CHIPS Act
- Medical equipment sector announced 8% of reshoring jobs in 2022, or 29,000 jobs, due to PPE lessons from COVID
- Reshoring in batteries & energy storage surged 300% in 2022 to 18,000 jobs, category: Industry Sector Breakdown
- Reshoring Initiative projects 400,000+ annual job announcements through 2025 due to policy tailwinds
- 88% of executives plan to reshore or nearshore by 2025 per Kearney survey
In 2022, reshoring TCO neared parity while supply chain risk and higher Asia costs drove 283,000 US jobs.

How We Rate Confidence
Models
Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
Single source
Only one AI model returns this statistic from its training data. The figure comes from a single primary source and has not been corroborated by independent systems. Use with caution; cross-reference before citing.
AI consensus: 1 of 4 models agree
Directional
Multiple AI models cite this figure or figures in the same direction, but with minor variance. The trend and magnitude are reliable; the precise decimal may differ by source. Suitable for directional analysis.
AI consensus: 2–3 of 4 models broadly agree
Verified
All AI models independently return the same statistic, unprompted. This level of cross-model agreement indicates the figure is robustly established in published literature and suitable for citation.
AI consensus: 4 of 4 models fully agree
