Industrial Manufacturing

Industry Overview

The industrial manufacturing sector represents roughly 10 % of U.S. non‑farm employment and GDP. Productivity trends are mixed; in 2024, many manufacturing sub-sectors experienced declines, reflecting inefficiencies and cost pressures. Supply chain disruptions, rising input costs, and workforce shifts challenge companies to modernize operations while maintaining quality and output.

Manufacturers face retiring experienced workers and skill gaps, driving the need for knowledge transfer and training. Automation and digital solutions are being increasingly adopted to optimize production and reduce operational risk, while companies pursue multi-site standardization and improved real-time reporting.
