Manufacturing - InBrief Analysis - US

US manufacturing faces mixed signals in 2025: PMI data shows marginal expansion for smaller firms but contraction for large domestic manufacturers. While overall output growth remains fragile, reshoring and advanced manufacturing investments are accelerating, driven by supply chain resilience and automation.

Key trends shaping the sector:

  • Reshoring momentum: Major players like GE Appliances, Kraft Heinz, and J&J pledge billions to expand US production.
  • Automation surge: Investments in AI-driven industrial automation and logistics systems.
  • Digital backbone: Platforms such as MES, ERP, QMS, LIMS, and WMS will experience a surge to enable compliance and real-time control.
  • GenAI adoption: Scaled deployments improve engineering productivity and manufacturing quality.

While a full recovery is unlikely in 2026, high-investment industries (tech, energy, advanced manufacturing) offer growth opportunities. For IT suppliers, this shift means expanding digital manufacturing ecosystems with cybersecurity, analytics, and regulatory traceability at the core.
