Walmart Reshoring Update

Walmart’s role as a driving force is becoming clear, creating a focused business opportunity for many U.S. manufacturers: consumer product companies directly and their industrial suppliers indirectly. Walmart’s reshoring commitment dwarfs that of any other U.S. company. In the 10th year of its program Walmart will be buying $50 billion more U.S. products per year, generating, by our estimate, about 300,000 additional manufacturing jobs (by Boston Consulting Group’s estimate,1,000,000 total jobs). So far, 26 companies have been officially announced in the program, generating 3654 known direct jobs. See chart below for details.

The not-for-profit Reshoring Initiative’s free Total Cost of Ownership Estimator™ can help corporations calculate the real P&L impact of reshoring or offshoring.
