The trend among so many American companies of reshoring—bringing manufacturing and more back to the United States—is proving to be seismic. Under President Donald Trump, many major companies have announced large investments in U.S. production expansions during 2025 and now in 2026, signaling a shift back toward domestic production in strategic sectors.
GlobalFoundries, for one, has said it is investing $16 billion to reshore chip manufacturing. Stellantis, the owner of Jeep, Ram, Dodge, unveiled a $13 billion U.S. manufacturing investment. And Johnson & Johnson plans to spend $55 billion to build facilities in the United States, partly responding to trade and supply chain pressures.
Federal announcements in 2025 point to more than $200 billion in multi-year U.S. investment commitments, led by major life sciences companies. In addition to Johnson & Johnson, other significant announcements came from AstraZeneca ($50 billion), Bristol Myers Squibb ($40 billion), GSK ($30 billion), and Eli Lilly and Company ($27 billion). While not always labeled as reshoring, these projects represent significant domestic capacity expansion aligned with federal priorities.
Activity has been especially concentrated in four sectors: pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and energy and data infrastructure—industries increasingly tied to national security and supply chain resilience.
On the employment side, reshoring and foreign direct investment continued to generate substantial, if moderating, gains. Approximately 244,000 U.S. jobs were announced in 2024, down slightly from the 2023 peak. While investment momentum remained strong in 2025, job creation is scaling more gradually as projects move from announcement to operation.
These investment announcements are significant, and jobs numbers are substantial compared with historical levels. Companies have cited numerous reasons for bringing manufacturing or business operations back home after they had previously been moved overseas. These include supply chain reliability, tariffs or trade policy changes, rising overseas labor costs, automation reducing labor-cost advantages, national security concerns, and Made in USA branding benefits.
American Machinist is reporting that industry surveys and analyses suggest that reshoring will continue to grow if the U.S. significantly expands its skilled manufacturing workforce. In fact, if American companies can fill more skilled jobs, some studies estimate that a meaningful share of currently off-shored production—as much as 30% of OEM-offshored products—could come back.
