Construction of U.S. factories reached $108B in 2022, a new record. Much of the growth is in electric vehicle batteries and semiconductors, areas backed by government incentives, also from companies looking to increase supply chain speed/flexibility.
FutureStitch, a sock producer with factories in China/Turkey, opened their first U.S. plant in CA and plans to add a second one. Lego, which mostly supplies the U.S. from a Mexican plant, is building its first U.S. plant in VA.
